Abstract

The corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased awareness towards maintaining physical distancing during transportation-related activities. This study presents a microsimulation model to explore operational measures to maintain physical distance among railway station passengers. The secondary and primary data obtained from field surveys are utilized to construct and calibrate the model. The peak hour data is employed to investigate the worst-case conditions. The calibrated model is then utilized to evaluate several operational measures, i.e., changing the headway, increasing the train capacity, increasing the train door duration, and changing the train door rules. From the simulation, it is found that changing the train door rules was ineffective if it was individually implemented. It is concluded that a combination of operational measures provides additional benefits for maintaining physical distancing among passengers.

保持火车站物理距离的操作措施
2019 年电晕病毒病(COVID-19)大流行提高了人们在交通相关活动中保持物理距离的意识。本研究提出了一个微观模拟模型,以探讨在火车站乘客中保持物理距离的操作措施。通过实地调查获得的二级和一级数据被用于构建和校准模型。利用高峰时段数据调查最坏情况。然后利用校准后的模型来评估几种运营措施,即改变班次间隔、增加列车容量、延长列车开门时间和改变列车开门规则。模拟结果表明,如果单独实施改变列车车门规则的措施,效果并不明显。由此得出的结论是,将各种运行措施结合起来,对保持乘客之间的物理距离有额外的好处。
