Modelling people fow at AMB using airport design programs

Abstract

The aim of this work is the study of the people flow at the public underground System ( TMB ) of Barcelona. We'll have special interest in the busiest stations, in our case, the station of Plaça Catalonia. We will study the interactions of passenger flows with subway trains, platforms, tunnels to the platforms and the entrances and exits of the stations. The study will always be based on a simulation, using the program MassMotion and real data and real maps obtained from the stations. In the study the main indicator will be the LOS (Level of Service). Once we've done the study, we'll have the conclusions, where we'll see that there are things that are well designed and others ones that should be improved. Although the main conclusion is the appropriateness of using these programs to design terminals and passenger stations, and the importance of a good LOS within the terminals. Finally at the Annex we are going to attach the planes used and the simulations obtained. Also as a curiosity, we'll attach the program (html + JavaScript) we did as a possible solution if we do not find a program to simulation as MassMotion.
