Passenger flow distribution model under the interruption of urban rail transit network

Abstract

Urban rail transit has gradually become an important part of urban public transport system due to its advantages of large capacity, punctuality, comfortableness, and environmental protection. As the growing popularization of urban rail transit network, a large number of passengers will be stranded once the rail transit line is interrupted. In the context of interruption of urban rail transit network, a NL model for passenger travel selection has been established under the circumstance of network interruption for passenger flow redistribution by determining effective passenger flow share rate of each route according to the passenger flow capacity of such route. It has been demonstrated that passenger flow share rates of metro, bus, and taxi are 50.7, 30.46, and 17.81%, respectively, by adoption of the proposed model.
