“…Galiza et al [14] clearly pointed out the qualitative measures of congestion on the train platforms which represent the complexity of pedestrian conditions at public transport terminal. Besides, [24] observed the effect of density on evacuation time where with the increase of the occupant density, the evacuation efficiency would decline. An agent based software FDS + Evac was used to simulate the pedestrian evacuation scene.…”

“…The weaving pedestrian show special characteristics during spatial constraint (limited internal space) and also during time constraint (rushing). Generally, the focus on pedestrian flow characteristic will help us in evaluating the pedestrian flow during different scenarios such as in panic situation [22][23][24]. Several methods were introduced, ranging from statistical updating to simulation exercise to measure the interactions between pedestrians.…”

An Increasing amount of literature is devoted to discuss about the pedestrian movement pattern in indoor or outdoor environment. A better understanding of human behavior is the key to plan and manage the pedestrian flow especially in a transit terminal. Pedestrians visiting a public space have different motivations and therefore may behave differently. In order to determine the pedestrian behavior, some parameters should be measured such as walking speed, spatial use and person counts. The planners have generated a need to understand the pedestrian movement which behavior could be represented in collective form. A comprehensive review of the existing method in looking at the influencing parameters of the pedestrian behavior to the routes choice and pedestrians flow in relation to the level of service (LOS) and interaction of pedestrian in rail transit terminal is still lacking. Therefore, this paper aims to review the pedestrian movement characteristic in a rail transit terminal. Considering the differences of space requirements among different types of pedestrians and owing to the diverse characteristics of their stature, behavior and surroundings, immediate action on planning the rail based infrastructure is needed.

Subway emergency may lead to passengers' panic, especially under self-organizing circumstance, which will spread rapidly and have an adverse impact on the society. This paper builds an improved SIRS model of passengers' panic spread in subway emergency with consideration of passengers' density, the characteristic of subway car with the confined space, and passengers' psychological factors. The spread of passengers' panic is simulated by use of Matlab, which draws the rules of how group panic spreads dynamically. The trend of stable point of the infection ratio is analyzed by changing different parameters, which help to draw a conclusion that immunization rate, spontaneous immune loss rate, and passenger number have a great influence on the final infected ratio. Finally, we propose an integrated control strategy and find the peak of passengers' panic and the final infected ratio is greatly improved through the numerical simulation. The research plays a vital role in helping the government and subway administration to master the panic spread mechanism and reduce the panic spread by improving measures and also provides certain reference significance for rail system construction, emergency contingency plans, and the construction and implementation of emergency response system.
