Microscopic simulation model of passenger mustering and evacuation in passenger dedicated railway station

In order to optimize the design of passenger dedicated railway station, the mechanism of passenger flow generation was studied, passenger mustering and evacuation process was described by using a standard Markov decision process, a method of facility control based on logical network and point matrix was presented, and a microscopic simulation model of passenger mustering and evacuation was proposed for passenger dedicated railway station. Simulation result shows that the maximum flow appears when passenger space is about 0.5 m², the speed distributes between 20 m·min^-1 and 80 m·min^-1 and increases exponentially with density. Passenger patterns are different according to facility types despite of the same passenger flow input. The simulation of passenger behavior reproduces the self-organization phenomenon successfully, and avoids the inapplicable data sample range of traffic flow fundamental diagram. So the model is reliable and practical.
