Abstract

The process of China's large-scale urbanization is constantly advancing, and public transportation problems are increasingly prominent. In recent years, major cities have been building subways. The advantages of the subway, such as fast and low carbon, have become an important means for large cities to solve urban public transportation. With the development of urban subway construction technology and operation scale and the continuous improvement of people's safety concept, the problem of evacuation of people in emergencies such as fires has increasingly aroused people's understanding. In order to explore the influence of the location of the facility space on the station floor to the evacuation of people in the event of an emergency, this paper optimizes the analysis of the traffic facilities such as the automatic ticket gate and the guide railing in the public area of the subway based on the pathfinder evacuation software. The location of the facility space at the station floor of the subsequent construction has been actively assisted. The simulation results show that the opening of the guide rail at the gate and the entrance and exit of the security inspection has a restraining effect on the evacuation of personnel; the spatial arrangement of the subway gate has a significant impact on the evacuation of personnel, and the layout of the distributed gates is not correct. The personnel at the exit of the escalator caused blockages, which was better than the centralized arrangement.

Highlights

  • With the development of China's economy and the increasingly serious problems of ground public transportation, the advantages of the rapid and low-carbon of metro have become an important vehicles for some cities to solve urban public transportation

  • Pathfinder software is an emergency evacuation simulation engineering software developed by Thunderhead Engineering of the United States

  • Through the pathfinder personnel evacuation software simulation subway station platform space with the central staircase working conditions 2, 4, 5 and working condition 6 model, found that the evacuated people from the platform level evacuation time is 54.0S ~ 73.0 S; and there is no layout of the central stairs 1 and working conditions 3 evacuated people were 89.0 S and 87.0 S

Summary

Introduction

With the development of China's economy and the increasingly serious problems of ground public transportation, the advantages of the rapid and low-carbon of metro have become an important vehicles for some cities to solve urban public transportation. The number of subway entrances and exits is limited. Domestic and foreign scholars have studied the factors affecting the evacuation of people in emergencies. Lijuan Hu and other scholars have studied the number of station staff [1,2,3,4,5,6], export conditions and psychological behaviors for emergency evacuation in the subway emergency. Influence: Some scholars have studied the factors such as subway building structure and facility layout. Changkun Chen [7] and Shuangqing Liu used numerical simulation methods to study the influence of the inner and outer guide rails on the evacuation efficiency of subway stations [8,9]. Based on the Pathfinder, this paper analyse the impact of Shouguo Yang et al.: Research on Spatial Arrangement of Metro Station Floor Facilities Based on Pathfinder facility layout on the evacuation of public areas in the subway station hall and provide a reasonable facility layout plan to subway design
