Abstract

In this study, three key factors affecting the planning of metro commercial passageways are selected: the built environment of metro station, travel purposes of passenger flow and gate position of the station hall. The Pearson model, Logistic model and software simulation are combined to analyze passage passenger flow. In the study of metro passageways, most studies focus on the optimization of evacuation and transfer functions, with little research on metro commercial passageways. The purpose of this study is to improve the attractiveness of metro commercial passageways to passenger flow by improving the three key factors mentioned above, thereby improving the current situation of underground commerce. The analysis results show that in the built environment analysis, the four selected construction factors are highly correlated with the passenger flow, and the correlation degree is in the following order (from high to low): length of the passage, operation of the escalators, the distance from the passage exit to the bus stop and the passage width. In the passenger flow travel purpose analysis, based on the structure of passengers and the function of the surrounding land use, it can be divided into shopping, work and living purposes, and the result of model parameter comparison shows that “shopping trips” is the most significant purpose. According to the analysis of the location of the exit gates at the station concourse level, the passageway with a closer distance or linear pattern to the gate location is more attractive to the passenger flow.
