Abstract

To alleviate the congestion of the passenger flow in the station, improve the passenger service level of the urban rail transit station. Based on the characteristics of passenger mustering and evacuation, this paper establishes a passenger traffic behavior model based on social forces to discover key bottlenecks in passenger flow. At the same time, a set of urban rail transit station passenger distribution capacity mustering and evacuation systems is proposed to evaluate and optimize its traffic flow. Taking the morning peak at the Gangding rail station in Guangzhou as an example, Massmotion software was used for simulation modeling to determine the bottleneck points that affect the distribution of passenger flow, and targeted countermeasures were put forward. The simulation results show that the cost of pedestrian queuing time has been reduced by 35.44% after optimization, and the local congestion index at the concourse and platform levels has been reduced by 16.06% and 25.66%, respectively. The simulation of passenger mustering and evacuation behavior provides a targeted and systematic research idea for alleviating the congestion of passenger flow in the station and improving the service level of passengers.
