Metro Station Pedestrian Organization Optimization through Space Analysis

As an important part of the metro station safety management, pedestrian organization has been widely researched, mainly through pedestrian simulation methods. In this study, however, space syntax theory is introduced. The authors take the East Nanjing Road Metro Station as an example, which seriously suffers from the huge pedestrian flow. By comparing the results of the real situation and software analysis, the authors found that the variables Integration and Gate Counts can explain and predict the pedestrian behavior properly. The conclusion of this study enriches and broadens the scope of the methods used in metro station pedestrian organization design.
