“…One of the key components of urban rail transit efficiency is transfer efficiency, which includes the transfer within the system and the transfers between the urban rail system and other modes of transport. Sancha et al [33] pointed out that the transfer efficiency of passengers is affected by the degree of automation in the stations, multiple traffic modes and long transfer distances. Reuben et al [34] explored the efficiency of transit stations using a robust bootstrap Data Envelopment Analysis.…”

It has been proven that developing urban rail transit (URT) is the key to solving the traffic problems in big cities, and transport efficiency is essential for scientific line planning and construction, operation management and sustainable development of urban rail transit. This paper focuses on the transport efficiency of the URT network and adopts shadow efficiency theory creatively to combine factors of passengers, capacity, and efficiency effectively. A quantitative calculation method of system utility based on “double time penalty” is proposed. According to the characteristics of Beijing URT, this paper puts forward a single optimization strategy and combinatorial optimization strategy and analyzes the results with DEA. The simulation of Beijing subway network proves the availability of the method and its optimization effects.

“…Some typical methods such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) have played their great role in the station assessment. Sancha et al [8] used the method to estimate the technical, social and environmental efficiency of transit transfer stations. Pjevčević et al [9] used DEA method to measure and analyze the efficiencies of ports on the Danube River, which can be borrowed for station evaluation.…”

INTRODUCTIONWith the rapid development of urban rail transit network operation technique, the increase of passenger volume leads to congestion in stations [1], causing even safety risk in the network [2]. Besides, the topology of urban rail transit network can also aggravate or relief the congestion situation of subway networks. Therefore, an effective method identified the key station is an imperative to manage the overcrowded urban rail transit.For the factors of the station performance, many of the current approaches focus on the relationship between passenger flow and facility capacity. Xu et al.[3] combined queuing theory with facility utilization evaluation to conduct the station capacity evaluation, according to the gathering and scattering process of a station. Kepaptsoglou and Karlaftis [4] proposed a model to evaluate passenger evolution on subway station platforms, which usually gathered most passengers. Wang et al.[5] also used the passenger evacuation capacity to evaluate the station based on the facility utilization. If the service level of the facility is too low, there are big problems in the station.Besides, passengers' subjective feelings and other factors are also used for evaluation. Matulin et al.[6] proposed a two-level evaluation method to analyze public transport performances from micro and macro levels, using performance indicators and quality of service indicators. Kesten and Öğüt [7] developed a measurement framework of passenger-oriented performance to evaluate rail transportation, using satisfaction and importance ratings obtained from passenger surveys.Meanwhile, there are many approaches employed in the station evaluation. Some typical methods such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) have played their great role in the station assessment. Sancha et al. [8] used the method to estimate the technical, social and environmental efficiency of transit transfer stations. Pjevčević et al. [9] used DEA method to measure and analyze the efficiencies of ports on the Danube River, which can be borrowed for station evaluation. In addition, simulation is also another method, where relevant simulation or operation data are provided. Zhang et al. [10] proposed a cellular automata-based model to simulate passengers' alighting and boarding behaviours in metro stations, aiming to analyze and evaluate the operation performance of stations. However, most works above do not consider the influence of other stations in the subway system, which results in local rather than global conclusions.Fortunately, in recent years, a complex network theory has been introduced to the station evaluation from a global viewpoint. Indexes such as degree centrality, betweenness centrality, and closeness centrality have an outstanding ability to identify key nodes from the network [11][12][13][14]. Sheikhahmadi et al. [12] proposed an improved high degree centrality index to identify the Traffic Management Original Scientific Paper
