Hybrid Dynamic Route Planning Model for Pedestrian Microscopic Simulation at Subway Station

Table 1

Algorithm of local route planning.

Input(a) A set of local path, J
(b) Preference of pedestrian i, and
(c) Current speed and position (xi, yi) of pedestrian i at time t

OutputA suitable local path for pedestrian i at time t

1For each local path j in J, do

2…estimate total walking distance by Equations ((4), (5)). (when pedestrian i is closed to the gates, can be simplified to in Equation (12))

3……calculate walking time by Equation (3)

4…estimate the number of passengers queueing at local path j by Equation (7)

5……calculate waiting time by Equation (6)

6…calculate the estimated passing time of path j by Equation (2)

7End for

8If pedestrian i is closed enough to the ticket gates,  then

9…pass through the local path with minimum estimated passing time by Equation (13)

10else calculate the probability of pedestrian i choose local path j by Equation (8)

11…choose a suitable local path for pedestrian i based on and a random number
