Abstract

In recent years, rapid urbanization has led to frequent occurrences of extreme weather conditions. As a vital component of urban transportation networks, subway lines often face flooding disasters. Due to the unique spatial characteristics of subway facilities, flooding incidents can easily lead to inefficient evacuation of passengers within the stations, trapping them in high-risk areas and endangering their lives. Therefore, it is crucial to study the hazards of evacuation within subway stations under different rainfall conditions. Revealing these patterns can assist professionals involved in evacuation safety in improving existing evacuation plans. Utilizing different evacuation strategies under varying rainfall conditions can mitigate the risk of passengers being stranded inside subway stations, enhance evacuation efficiency, and thereby safeguard lives and property.
