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 …

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 …

Rail transit with its high passenger capacity and high efficiency has become one of the
preferred alternatives to automobile travel. This is evident in the increasing patronage of rail …

Mass transit rail stations make up complex systems in which passenger flows have
significant influence on operations and traffic conditions. Are there pedestrian simulators that …

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 study proposes a microscopic pedestrian simulation model for evaluating pedestrian
flow. Recently, several pedestrian models have been proposed to evaluate pedestrian flow …

Pedestrian movements are the consequence of several complex and stochastic facts. The
modelling of pedestrian movements and the ability to predict the travel time are useful for …

With the predicted double in number of train passengers in the" bassin lémanique" over the
next 20 years, pedestrian demand in train stations is going to increase significantly …

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

Macroscopic pedestrian models for bidirectional flow analysis encounter limitations in
describing microscopic dynamics at crosswalks. Pedestrian behavior at crosswalks is …
