A Multi-Agent-Based Approach for the Impacts Analysis of Passenger Flow on Platforms in Metro Stations Considering Train Operations

Abstract

Impacts analysis of train operation on passenger flow in metro stations is an important and fundamental require-ment to improve the operational efficiency and ensure passengers a high level of service. This study aims at large metro sta-tions where thousands of passengers are moving, boarding or alighting and the complicated interactions among passengers and between passengers and other entities like stairways or trains take place all the time. A multi-agent-based approach is developed from the investigation of movement characteristics of passengers to meet the above requirement and deal with such interactions. The simulation scenarios considering the various conditions of train operations are performed in the case studies of a metro station in Beijing (China) to prove the feasibility of the proposed approach, which is useful to for-mulate and evaluate the operation schemes of trains

Asssurance of the competitiveness of metropolis railway station complexes based on the assessment of the demand for retail services

“…человек, размеры торговых площадей -7 200 м 2 , количество торговых точек -34, площади ресторанного пространства на вокзале -2 710 м 2 . Исходя из данных [Chen et al, 2018], эффективная суточная нагрузка этой железнодорожной станции на одну торговую точку составляет около 2 тыс. посетителей, и это связано не только с пассажиропотоком, но и с тем, что вокзал является точкой притяжения для горожан и прохожих.…”
