Abstract

As more and more passengers choose urban rail transit as their travel mode, many subway stations cannot satisfy the operation demand now because of the increasing passenger volume. In the peak hours, passenger crowding problem is serious in some subway station. This paper considers the practical conditions of a transfer subway station and makes three optimization schemes in the view of reconstruction engineering. The schemes are simulated by the Anylogic simulation software. Then an evaluation index system is built and the method of analytical hierarchy process is used to compare these schemes. The results show that compared with the measures of corner optimization and escalator addition, widening the existing staircase in the station is a better choice to relieve the transfer crowding. Furthermore, two suggestions are made to guide new stations design: one is that round corners should be used as much as possible; the other is that if the stay areas before the staircase or escalator zones are small, it is suggested to only set staircases rather than escalators.
