![]() ![]() Since passenger flow organization plays an important role in maintaining a satisfying level of service (LOS) at metro stations under normal and extreme situations, developing methods to model pedestrian behavior and evaluate passenger flow management could benefit both transit users and operators. However, such analysis has been recognized as being extremely difficult due to many factors, including human factors and passenger flows, 1 limiting our capacity to better design station layout and evacuation strategies correspondingly. Thus, emergency management (e.g., evacuation and rescue of passengers) in crowded metro stations should be investigated carefully, especially under circumstances such as fire outbreaks or terrorist attacks. ![]() Because of limited land available in city centers, business districts, and large residential areas, metro stations are built larger and deeper, incurring massive passenger volume and high-density flows, in particular during rush hours. Successfully applied to case studies of three major metro stations in Shenzhen China, this methodology is demonstrated to be capable of evaluating passenger flow organization through visual and quantitative analyses for improving facility layout design.Īs a critical component of the metro system, metro stations provide the boarding, alighting, and transfer services for metro passengers. ![]() Focusing on the technical implementation of the method, we discuss in detail (1) finely resolved pedestrian simulation using AnyLogic (2) bookkeeping of spatial positions of agents at the specific temporal intervals in XML format and (3) interactive photo-realistic 3D visualization of pedestrian movements using UC-win/Road through its micro-simulation player plug-in, OpenMicroSim. Simulation results are then imported into a 3D VR environment for the assessment of passenger flow organization and its interactions with facility layout. Passenger flow movements, with detailed spatial–temporal information of each agent, are modeled using agent-based micro-simulation. This research proposes a high-fidelity simulation method that integrates the strengths of microscopic pedestrian modeling and three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality (VR) for the evaluation of passenger flow organization and facility layout at metro stations.
