Study on Velocity and Density of Pedestrians Flow in Metro Transfer Station

By the investigation to the characteristics of pedestrians flow on stairways in some main pedestrians distributing centers, such as the Shanghai Chifeng Road Light Orbit Station, Shanghai People´s Square Subway Station and the Shanghai train station and so on, and on the basis of the investigation data above, the fundamental characteristics of pedestrians flow in transfer station are found by qualitative analysis, the form of function about density-velocity and density flow rate of pedestrians flow on stairways is confirmed, then fitting functions in term of investigation data and ensuring parameters by using software, such as Matlab, thus the functions of pedestrians flow in transfer stations are gained. By comparing vehicles flow to pedestrians flow on stairways, pedestrians flow on the walkways to pedestrians flow on stairways, the foreign related researches to this thesispsila research, the models of Pedestrians flow on stairways are suitable for transfer stations in some big cities in china. It will offer references and directions for improving capacity of stairways, strengthening management with pedestrians flow and organizing effectively pedestrians flow.
