Abstract:

In this paper, the Legion pedestrian simulation software was used to evaluate and analyze the passenger transport of Qingniandajie Station in Shenyang Metro during the morning peak. The parameters of the simulation model were calibrated through field investigations and statistical analysis of the original ticket card data. Based on the Fruin service level evaluation standard, the service level of whole station and key areas, and the rationality of the station’s flow lines were evaluated and analyzed. The evaluation results show that the overall service level of Qingniandajie Station during the morning peak is relatively low, and the bottleneck areas of passenger traffic are concentrated in the four groups of transfer stairs and escalators and platform areas. Finally, through analysis of the causes of the station congestion, the improvement measures for relieving the station congestion were put forward, which provide references for renovations of the stations and optimization of passenger transport organization.

Key words: transfer station, passenger transport organization, bottleneck areas, pedestrian simulation, urban rail transit
