Abstract:
In this presentation Dr. Sebastian Seriani is going to present his research about pedestrian modelling/crowd management based on experiments and observation at existing stations in urban railways. The objective is to study the effect of crowd management measures on the behaviour of passengers at the platform train interface (PTI). Two stations at London Underground and Metro de Santiago were observed in which platform edge doors (PEDs) are used. In addition, experiments were performed at UCL's Pedestrian Accessibility Movement Environment Laboratory (PAMELA) and Universidad de los Andes's Human Dynamics Laboratory (HDL). As a next step a tracking tool is developed to count passengers at the PTI.
