Modeling Urban Mass Transit Station for Passengerflow Simulation

Abstract:

According to the characteristics of the spatial structure and devices inside, a UTM Station can be divided into a hieratical structure of stationfloorsareasdevices, for the sake of simulation. Based on object oriented technique, a concise and flexible modeling approach for UTM Stations is developed. All models of facilities and devices in UTM station are built by combining four geometric figure models and three facility component models, and then the simulation maps of largescale stations are generated from AutoCAD drawings easily and accurately. Besides, vctorbased animation is displayed in real time during simulation.
