Research on Carrying Capacity of Passenger Passage of Large-scale Passenger Station

Determination of the carrying capacity of passenger passage is of some reference value to passenger passage design and passenger transport organization.In this paper,statistics of walking speeds and average occupying space per capita were collected from the video information of passenger flow through passenger passages of the Beijing Railway Station and Beijing West Railway Station.Analysis was made on those data and with reference to overseas researches.The model interrelationship of passenger throughput,passenger walking speed and passenger flow density was structured.Then the model was fitted using Software Origin.The fitting curve was found to be of very good response to the inter relationship of the above-mentioned three parameters. Lastly the standard of level of service and the reference to designed carrying capability of the passenger passage were determined by the ratio between the passenger throughput and the maximum carrying capacity.
