Influence of Security Check Procedures on Transfer Efficiency from Railway Stations to Subways

Abstract:

As the number of newly-emerged technologies is rising， the influence of security check procedures on the pedestrian transfer efficiency of railway stations and the corresponding design strategies are increasingly concerned. After the pedestrian simulations are conducted by using the MassMotion Software， the influence of arriving passengers in different parts of railway stations， and the interaction effects between external factors are compared in two scenarios： the mutual recognition of security checks and the application of face recognition systems. Based on the results above， a reference table for impacts from arriving passengers is proposed as a supporting tool to help architects respond to complex scenarios in the early design stages.
