Abstract
This paper addresses predicting the impact of access gates on pedestrian flow operations in terms of level of service, congestion levels, average walking times, delays incurred at the gates, etc. The paper predicts pedestrian traffic operations for different station design alternatives using the microscopic pedestrian flow model NOMAD. This is done for reference situations (validation), as well as for the design alternatives. The model provided realistic results. Furthermore, the simple design guidelines used to set up the design alternatives provided satisfactory levels of service to transferring pedestrian and the gates would be installed without compromising passenger safety.
