Abstract:
An enormous growth has been observed in number of passengers using railway transportation due to day to day urbanization. It results into increase in number of passenger using railway station platform; usually this users are defined as pedestrian flow at platform. During arrivals and departure of trains at urban travel station, there is very high congestion due to pedestrian flow. Pedestrian flow goes to peak level with quick variation and brings about movement of pedestrian streams and may prompt to risky pedestrian facility. The analysis of this pedestrian flow in some circumstances in point of the gravity of situation turning unfavorable, subsequently for the proficiency layout and also compelling operations, modeling of pedestrian flow for such condition is important to increase pedestrian level of service. Simulation model of pedestrian network at Nagpur railway station was developed with the help of PTV Vissim 9 and analysis was carried out. The results show that difference between field study and simulation study is 15% and 10% on passageway and ramp respectively.
