Assessing the usage and level-of-service of pedestrian facilities in train stations: A Swiss case study

摘要: A framework for assessing the usage and level-of-service of rail access facilities is presented. It consists two parts. dynamic demand estimator allows to obtain time-dependent pedestrian origin–destination within walking facilities. Using that demand, a traffic assignment model describes propagation pedestrians through station, providing an estimate prevalent conditions in terms flow, times, speed density. The corresponding can be directly obtained. discussed at example Lausanne railway station. For this train rich set data sources including travel surveys, counts trajectories has been collected collaboration with Swiss Federal Railways. Results show good performance framework. To underline its practical applicability, six-step planning guideline presented used design optimize new or existing stations. In long term, may also crowd management, involving real-time monitoring control flows.
