Investigation and Study of the Law of Passenger Distribution in One Carriage of Subway in Beijing

Abstract:

The characteristics of passengers standing-position choice and the factors that have effects on passenger distribution are analyzed. According to the investigation results, the disproportion of passenger distribution in one subway carriage is confirmed. The curves about the standing passenger density (from 0-6p/m²) and the passenger number that use different facilities on Line 4 and Line 13 of Beijing Subway are fitted by means of the linear regression theory. Then, the equations of the curves are able to predict the passenger distribution under the situations of different standing passenger densities. After comparing the predicted values with the investigated values, the feasibility of the model is validated accordingly.
