Dwell time delays, although small in nature, can accumulate to a large delay over the entire
journey of a train. It is, however, difficult to precisely know the amount of time which is …

One of the most common motivations for public transport investments is to reduce
congestion and increase capacity. Public transport congestion leads to crowding discomfort …

A common behavior pattern observed on subway platforms is that pedestrians walk
downstairs from the escalator and choose a door to wait for a rail train. Interestingly …

Obstacle avoidance behavior, as an important part of pedestrian evacuation, is of great
significance to the study of evacuation efficiency. This paper investigates the definitions of …

Concentrated boarding describes the phenomenon when rail passengers congregate in
certain areas of the platform and board the train carriages that stop near these areas. This …

The paper evaluates the impact of real-time crowding information (RTCI) provision based on
a pilot study at a Stockholm metro station. During a 6-day test period, RTCI for each car in …

This paper formulates the car-specific metro train crowding prediction problem based on real-
time load data and evaluates the performance of several data-driven prediction methods …

We present a transit model that, based on automated fare collection and train tracking data,
describes pedestrian movements in train stations and vehicle-specific train ridership …

Reliable and accurate estimates of metro demand can provide metro authorities with
insightful information for the planning of route alignment and station locations. Many existing …

In the subway platform, not all passengers distribute randomly but gather in the waiting
areas, especially when a train is coming. During emergency evacuations, passengers' initial …
