Simulation for service facilities and passenger flow organization optimization on railway terminal

Abstract

This paper takes railway terminal as research object, considers the diversity of passengers, and uses Anylogic software based on the social force model to build a dynamic simulation model of inbound walking path for complex passenger flow. BeijingWest Railway Station is taken as an example, and equipment utilization balance degree (EUBD), passenger density (PD), average walking time (AWT), passenger queue length (PQL) are selected to evaluate, and optimization suggestions are put forward. Research shows that increasing the number of security inspection equipment, escalators can significantly improve the efficiency of passengers entering the terminal, and the average walking time at the entrance on the northwest and middle side of the second floor is reduced by 73.83%, 65.99% respectively.
