Evacuation Time of the Facilities in Rail Transit Study and Simulation

Abstract:

Urban rail transit is one of the important transportation means. Passenger evacuation capacity of subway station is importance for rail operation safety. This article studied the time variation about different numbers of evacuated people under the different stairs width. And it forced on the variation of the evacuation time under different stair widths. By considering the mutual repulsion between pedestrian and wall, and among pedestrians, the article used the anylogic simulation software to simulate and got the evacuation time under different stair-width. When down-stair width is beyond by 3.5m, down-stair-width increasing is unobvious to shorten the evacuation time. Finally, the article explains differences between two results by comparing analysis of simulation results and calculation results.
