Abstract
How to evacuate passengers in a metro station safely and efficiently when there is an emergency is an important concern of society. Based on insights from passenger behavior surveys, five typical evacuation behaviors of metro passengers during an emergency are modeled. A comprehensive model for simulating emergency evacuation is proposed, which is developed with thorough psychological analysis of metro passengers and combined with five typical behavior models in different scenarios. The proposed model was integrated into pedestrian simulation software, and an initial numerical test run on the Shanghai metro system showed that it can give a good performance and be beneficial for making, evaluating, and improving emergency responses.
