Abstract:

To study the influence of passengers moving to adjacent carriages on high-speed train carriages' evacuation, a cellular automata model considering export selection is established. Taking the CR400BF second-class carriage as the research object, some analytical indexes such as evacuation efficiency, number of conflicts and the congestion degree are used to study the effect of passengers moving to adjacent carriages on carriage evacuation, and the passenger seat distribution, the number of passengers transferred from adjacent carriages and the opening door modes of adjacent carriages are discussed. The simulation results show that the discretized seat distribution reduces the times of conflicts by approximately 44.7%. Evacuations of passengers moving to adjacent carriages reduce the evacuation efficiency of the carriage. The evacuation time of passengers in the carriage first increases linearly with the increase of the number of the number of moving passengers from adjacent carriages and then tends to be stable. Different door opening modes of adjacent carriages have different effects on evacuation efficiency.
