Abstract

Urban railway is used widely because of its big capacity, little pollution, safety, and speediness. The volume of passengers is still increasing constantly and subways become overcrowd. In particular in the morning and evening peak period, the number of passengers increased sharply, accidents may happen easily, for example congestion and trample. In order to guarantee the safety of passengers and the efficient operation of the train, to improve the quality of urban railway service, some measures should be used to control the passenger flow in large stations, especially in transfer stations. This paper analyzes the characteristics of urban railway transfer station and discusses deeply about the principles of passengers’ path, then put forward the model of passenger flow control on peak through analyzing the model of passenger path.
