Study on Accessibility Model for Passenger Transfer in Railway Hub

Abstract

To analyze the accessibility of passengers transferring inside the railway hub and to establish the connection of exiting corridors and mode-transferring nodes, a new concept transferring decision-making node is introduced. The passenger transferring decision-making nodes are regarded as internal nodes and mode- transferring nodes are external nodes. The passengers’ transferring routes are formed by connecting those two kinds of nodes. So the passenger transferring accessibility matrix model can be built and calculated the shortest transferring-time based on Floyd algorithm, which is effective to analyze the hub’s layout rationality and transfer efficiency. Taking Wuchang railway station as instance, it proves that the transferring resources accessibility have been well inosculated with the actual constraints of Wuchang railway station.
