Abstract
The development of the automatic fare collection (AFC) systems provides significant support for predicting passenger flow on urban rail transit. This paper extracts passenger travel patterns using AFC data on urban rail transit in Chengdu, China, over a one-month period. Passengers are divided into two categories based on their travel habits and data mining models, and multinomial logit (MNL) models are separately used to predict their destinations. Furthermore, a two-way search algorithm is developed to search the optimal paths between origin-destination (OD) pairs by considering interchange constraints. Start a path search through the origin point and destination point, respectively, until the shortest path is found. The maximum effectiveness of a path is measured by travel time, interchange time, and the number of interchanges between the OD pairs. Finally, the validity of the proposed passenger flow path prediction method is verified by using the AFC data of Chengdu metropolitan rail transit from April 2018.
