Passenger Flow Analysis Model About Express/Slow Train in Urban Rail Transportation Corridor

Abstract:

The passenger flow analysis model is composed of three parts. First, based on the stochastic user equilibrium theory, a passenger path choice model was established to determine the passenger principle in path choice and the fundamental basis of traffic distribution in this corridor. Then, a passenger travel cost model was set up with the travel time, in vehicle crowding discomfort, waiting time as three major factors. Finally, an elastic demand model was built up to investigate the interaction between passenger travel intention and rail transit service level. A case study was made of the passenger flow analysis model, which verified the express/slow train operational efficiency in rail transportation corridor.
