Study on Safety Evacuation Time for Passengers in Subway Station and Its Application

Abstract:

This paper discusses the determination of safety evacuation time for passenger and staff in subway station in accordance with passenger flow and traffic capacity of escalator and stairs in subway station, concurrently modifies the formula to calculate the safety evacuation time by means of different determination of passenger flow predicted in advance by dint of origin and destination investigation in subway station. And a proposal to consider the maximum passenger flow within every subway train departure interval is also presented in determining the evacuation time when calculating the traffic capability of escalators and stairs.
