Abstract
AbstractIncreased pedestrian volume in metro railway stations is enveloping unnecessary results like loss in the comfortability of the service, increased passenger density inside train car units, etc. Especially in developing countries like India, urban commuters use the facility on a daily basis. Compared to the surface mode of transport, metro railway system have less turbulence in movement from other modes of transport along its alignment-enabling it to be relatively fastest mode of transport. As metro rail system is economic in many aspects urban commuters pool at metro stations in metropolitan cities for their purpose of travel. Pooling at massive rates also distracts a few of the using population from the metro railway system, because of discomfort that may arrive in the process of travelling. In this study, an attempt is made to consolidate pedestrian characteristics and practices that are found to be beneficial by different metro stations around the world, that offer great amount of ridership with comfortability to passenger.KeywordsPedestrian behaviourWalking speedReaction time
