Abstract EN
With the rapid development of urban rail transit, the phenomenon of outburst passenger flows flocking to stations is occurring much more frequently.
Passenger flow control is one of the main methods used to ensure passengers’ safety.
While most previous studies have only focused on control measures inside the target station, ignoring the collaboration between stops, this paper puts emphasis on joint passenger control methods during the occurrence of large passenger flows.
To provide a theoretic description for the problem under consideration, an integer programming model is built, based on the analysis of passenger delay and the processes by which passengers alight and board.
Taking average passenger delay as the objective, the proposed model aims to disperse the pressure of oversaturated stations into others, achieving the optimal state for the entire line.
The model is verified using a case study and the results show that restricted access measures taken collaboratively by stations produce less delay and faster evacuation.
Finally, a sensitivity analysis is conducted, from which we find that the departure interval and maximum conveying capacity of the train affect passenger delay markedly in the process of passenger control and infer that control measures should be taken at stations near to the one experiencing an emergency.
