Abstract

Simulating and optimizing passenger flow lines in railway stations is the important method for meeting the travelers’ needs and improving manage efficiency. This paper analyzed the kinds, the direction and the connection of passenger flow lines in Lanzhou West Railway Station. According to the characteristics of the passenger flow lines in Lanzhou West Railway Station, the dynamic simulation model was constructed. We simulated and optimized the station’s passenger flow lines at present and in the future by using the simulation software – Anylogic. The simulation result shows that the security channels should be increased in the near future to shorter security processing time, and the proportion of four entrances’ passenger flows should be adjusted to achieve better effects in the long run.
