SIMULATION OF PASSENGER FLOW IN A STATION

A simulation model of passenger flow in a station is worked out to make clear the congestion at the ticket inspection gate and thereby determine the adequate number of automatic ticket inspection gates to be installed. Based on this model, a GPSS program is formulated for application to four stations expected to to opened on Musashino Line. To account for the results of calculations, a simplified theoretical model is conceived for conparison and discussion.
