Abstract

The emergency disposal of urban rail transit needs to accurately estimate the emergency range and total affected passenger flow volume. The urban rail transit network could be simplified to an abstract model which is easy to be analyst based on the graph theory method. Considering the actual network back-turning lines and vehicle storage tracks of urban rail network, the emergency range could be estimated effectively. The affected passenger flow could be classified as different kinds based on the different paths of passenger flow. The classification of passenger flow mainly includes “delay passenger flow”, “detour passenger flow” and “loss passenger flow”. Considering the emergency range, the different affected passenger flows could be superposed over time based on the abstract model, then the affected passenger flow volume and virtual loss time could be calculated out. The results could provide basis for the emergency disposal in urban rail transit. The example analysis is verified the feasibility of this method.
