| Summary: | Purpose – It is significant for station passenger flow organization, platform equipment layout and train running optimization to master platform passenger distribution characteristics of urban rail transit stations. The purpose of this paper is to master the characteristics of platform passenger flow distribution in urban rail transit stations and optimize the station passenger flow organization, platform equipment layout and train operation adjustment. Design/methodology/approach – The model considers two types of passengers, with and without luggage, as well as their door selection and microscopic movement behavior. In addition, it improves the traditional social force model by incorporating passenger state transitions under same-platform-transfer scenarios, considering the influence of static obstacles and dynamic queues on passenger movement direction. Findings – Based on this model, a dynamic simulation of platform passenger flow distribution was conducted using Beijingxi Railway Station as an example under same-platform-transfer scenarios, verifying the model’s effectiveness. Originality/value – Complex scenarios, such as carrying luggage and same-platform-transfers, bring difficulties to the analysis of passenger distribution on platforms. Therefore, this paper proposes a simulation model for the dynamic distribution of subway platform passengers, taking into account the scenarios of carrying luggage and same-platform-transfers. |
