“…They mainly include cellular automata models [6], lattice gas models [7], social force models [8], fluid dynamic models [9], innovative models [10], and experimental approaches with animals [11]. Although some of the above methodologies were adopted for the evacuation problems in metro systems [12], the emphasis of evacuation research concentrated on modelling movement 2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering characteristics [13], evaluating facility capacity [14,15] and investigating strategy scenarios [16,17] through field data collection and scenario simulation.…”

Efficient calculation on passenger evacuation performances under emergencies is crucial to the planning, design, and operation of metro systems as it is closely related to the safety of human lives. Four calculation methodologies including the China CDM, NFPA 130, control volume, and M/G/c/c models and a multiagent-based simulation approach are employed to calculate the evacuation time under a given number of evacuees in different application backgrounds by investigating impact factors and strategies of evacuation as well as moving speed of evacuees. The M/G/c/c model and multiagent-based simulation approach are also used to identify the bottleneck of evacuation in metro stations. A case study for the Xizhimen metro station in Beijing is carried out to validate the effectiveness of these methodologies to planners, designers, and operators in practice. The results show that the former two methodologies are concise quantitative methods while the latter ones are more capable of assessing the whole process and details of evacuation.

In order to improve the ability to evacuate from subway fire in subway’s planning, design, operation, and maintenance stages, a simulation model of pedestrians’ evacuation process in subway fire was established based on Legion and FDS software. It can truly reflect the dynamic effects of the fire environment on subway station evacuation. Then dynamic evaluation indicators systems were established from the point of survival index, security risk index, effectiveness index, and orderliness index. In order to help decision makers to identify the most appropriate plan, matter-element analysis (MEA) was used to rate different plans. At last a case study of Songjiazhuang (SJZ) station was provided to test the effectiveness and practicability of the evaluation method.
