The setting of railway station waiting room and waiting zones relates to passengers' feeling and satisfaction. In this article, the authors develop an optimization model for railway station waiting room assignment, as well as considering adjustment of platforms. With four types of improvement strategies: zone optimization, room optimization, time optimization and interactive priority policy, this optimal model aims to effectively and efficiently improve the railway service quality and security.

Passenger Flow

Purpose This paper aims to propose a systematic approach to facilitate passenger flow in high speed rail (HSR) stations. A case study is conducted to validate the approach. Design/methodology/approach This paper argues that HSR station management consists of train management, station capacity management, waiting room management and passenger flow management, and that two-way and dynamic information exchange exists among the components. Accordingly, the proposed approach integrates the components in HSR station management based on information exchange and heuristic algorithms. A HSR station in China with four regular waiting rooms, one mother-and-infant waiting room and one VIP waiting room located on two floors are chosen for a case study. An arrangement plan for waiting zones and waiting rooms is generated by following the proposed approach. Findings The result of the case study indicates that the proposed approach is capable of arranging waiting zones and waiting rooms quickly and effectively to maximize utilization of waiting room capacity and to minimize passenger walking distance from waiting rooms to platforms. Research limitations/implications The management problem of railway station waiting room also relates to some other factors such as platforms, tracks adjustment and delay of the trains. As an emerging technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to offer promising solutions to transform the operation and role of many existing industrial systems such as transportation systems including railway systems. The future study of the authors will focus on IoT intelligent railway management system. Practical implications The result indicates that the proposed method is an effective solution to the management of railway station waiting room, which can be applied to railway station management system. Social implications China Railway System provides service to billions of passengers. This research has significant social-economic impacts. Originality/value This paper fulfills an information integrated approach for improving waiting room management in high speed railway stations and a case study testing the approach.

In recent years, high speed railway stations rapidly increase, and the effect of high-speed railway stations on social and economic appears gradually. The prediction of the influence has become a research focus in the social and economic theory. In this paper, based on the study of accessibility, the influence of high speed railway station to the accessibility of each regional is analyzed, and a dynamic model of the influence of high-speed railway station is built on the correlation of the accessibility and economic development, which forecast the influence of the high speed railway station in Beijing-shanghai. On the basis of prediction, this paper also discuss the correlated factors about the influence changes of high speed railway station, the result prove that the topology structure of high-speed railway line has significant contact with the influence changes of the station.

Focusing on the Zhengzhou East Railway Station, which is the larges railway staton in China at present and has the characteristics of bridge-station combined structure, the fine finite element model was established by considering the influence of second dead loads. The rational crowd loading models were also determined based on the testing results. The vibration responses of waiting room floor and business floor caused by crowd loading are calculated. The vibration comfort was evaluated by the code of ATC (1999). The calculation and analysis results showed that: (1) the vibration of waiting floor and business floor under crowd get up loading is small, which can satisfy the comfort demand; (2) the vibration of waiting floor and business floor under crowd walk loading is bigger because the frequency of crowd walk loading (2Hz) is closer to the structure first natural frequency, which can satisfy the comfort demand basically and only some individual parts can not satisfy the comfort demand; (3) the vibration caused by crowd loading can not neglected for the large-span flexible structures.

Much concern has been paid on the human-induced vibration of high-speed railway station structures in recent years. But the vibration responses are influenced greatly by are two key factors, which are rational pedestrian load model and accurate structure calculation model. Field test, therefore, is the most directly and valuable method to obtain the vibration responses of large-span railway station structure. The vibration responses of the waiting floor of the Hangzhou East Railway Station, which is just completed, are measured and analyzed. The test results showed that the vibration of waiting room floor under pedestrian load cannot be neglected for vibration comfort evaluation.

To explore the influencing factors and mutual influence mechanism of the construction safety of China’s high-speed railway stations, this study takes the Hanghuang high-speed railway Fuyang station as the subject and studies 17 risk factors in 4 categories affecting construction safety based on system safety theory, and the interaction relationship and degree among the factors were analysed. Based on DEMATEL (Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) and ISM (Interpretative Structural Modelling) methods, through a questionnaire survey, the logical relationship among the influencing factors is quantified. Then, the influencing degree, influenced degree, centrality, and causality of the influencing factors were calculated, and a multilevel hierarchical hybrid model is established to systematically analyse the influencing factors and the mechanism of high-speed railway station construction. The results show that the factors of construction safety risk are summarized as 3 main factors, 6 important factors, and 7 direct factors and personnel factors and management factors need to be controlled with emphasis. In addition, some measures are proposed. This research provides a theoretical basis and method for preventing accidents and improving the safety of high-speed railway station construction.
