	Layout		Management	Pedestrian characteristic
	Entrance	Obstacle	Seat/carriage allocation	Density	Direction	Boarding∖alighting behavior
Railway station	One entrance (see Figure 1(a))	No obstacle	Beforehand allocated	Relatively low	Bidirectional or unidirectional	Boarding or alighting
Metro station	Two or more entrances (see Figure 1(b))	The entrances are obstacles	Self-determined options	Relatively high	Bidirectional	Boarding and alighting simultaneously
HSR station	Two entrances (see Figure 1(c))	The entrances are obstacles	Beforehand allocated	Relatively low	Unidirectional	Boarding
