The focus of this paper is on facilities planning and layout design of a railway station based
on pedestrian movement and volume. It is important to ensure efficient passenger flow at …

The assessment of station designs by applying pedestrian flow simulation models is
addressed. In particular, station design issues pertain to the way access gates will affect …

Large scale renovation of rail stations to cater for growing passenger demand has been
taking place in various sites in Japan. These projects pose a challenge to researchers to …

In collaboration with the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB-CFF-FFS), various challenges
associated with pedestrian flows in train stations are discussed at the example of Lausanne …

A framework for assessing the usage and level-of-service of rail access facilities is
presented. It consists of two parts. A dynamic demand estimator allows to obtain time …

This paper addresses predicting the impact of access gates on pedestrian flow operations in
terms of levels-of-service, congestion levels, average walking times, delays incurred at the …

In railway stations and other major complexes (such as air terminals, buildings and sports
centers), congestion associated with concentrated pedestrian movements is a common …

Rail transportation is most economical means of the mode in comparison to road
transportation. Intercity railway stations are nodal points of the rail network. With the growing …

The design of railway station environments in South Africa and to a certain extent
internationally, is based on rules of thumb. These rules, using general macroscopic …

This research proposed a simulation method using Anylogic software to model passenger in
and out flowlines and determine the operational capacity of a metro station in line 3. The …
