Study On Facility Service Level In Urban Rail Transfer Stations Based On Passenger Flow Characteristics

Rail transit is an effective ways to ease the enormous pressure of ground transportation, which has developed rapidly due to the merits of large freight, fast, punctually, less environmental pollution and safety. With the rapidly development, more and more transfer passengers will select rail transit to travel outside. Transfer rail stations, as the vital node of the network, which would afford more and more passenger volume in the future. The research on evaluation index and evaluation model of the rail transfer facilities has an important significance, contributing to improve the capacity, security, and management level of transfer stations.In the first section, on the one side, based on the analysis of the rail transfer stations’characteristics, forms, passenger characteristics internal, this paper has studied on the passenger characteristics in the transfer stations. On the other side, it introduced something about the layout, design standards and capabilities of passenger service facilities, and then qualitative analyzed the relationship between facilities characteristics and passengers’sensation and cognition.In the second section, based on analysis of passengers’characteristics and facilities’ ability, with the passenger density as the mainly indicator, the level of platform comfortless, stairs and transfer gallery was divided. And then, the level of the convenience about transfer gallery and stairs were divided according to the gallery length and step number. With questionnaire inventory and vat theory, the evaluation standard of the level of service on transfer facilities was achieved. Based on the above standard, it has made an evaluation model with respect to transfer infrastructure as a whole.In the last section, the whole theories in this paper have applied into the evaluation on service level Jianguomen rail station in Beijing, the result of Level C was obtained, and then proposed some effective measures and suggestions.Finally, this paper has proposed a suggested scope on the standard of traffic efficiency regarding to up and down steps, according to the relationship of speed, density, rate of passenger volume mutually, which was obtained by photograph investigation.
