Abstract

The layout of fare gates have become one of the most significant bottleneck in streamline organization. In actual practice, the layout principle and combining scheme are not clearly demonstrated. Here, we build a multistage pedestrian-and-gate route choice model on account of time cost based on research on the microcosmic characteristics of the behavior of pedestrian in rail transit station as well as the temporal and spatial characteristics of the passenger flow. We further investigate the corresponding algorithm which can convert the time cost to the selection probability and decide which to choose according to the probability based on the random number method. Two indexes are selected to evaluate the optimized results in the case of Beijing Zoo Station in Beijing subway at last. This paper verifies the feasibility and practicability of the optimization model in order to propose positive suggestions not only on the design of layout of fare gates in new stations but also on the adjustment in existing stations.
