Abstract

Various methods have been developed in an effort to increase the scheduled speeds of the urban railways. Reducing the train dwell times by extending door widths is one such method. However, there is thus far no domestic model of boarding and alighting that is appropriate to lead to boarding and alighting time reductions if the door width is extended. Foreign models are not suitable because human behaviors, which are important factors when assessing boarding and alighting times, differ from country to country. In this study, a boarding and alighting model for domestic urban railways is proposed and related equations and parameters are derived from measured and experimental data. The model can be employed to assess time reductions in Korean railroad system if the door widths are extended.

도시철도의 표정속도를 증대시키기 위해 여러 가지 방안이 연구되고 있는데 출입문 폭 확장을 통한 정차시간 단축은 이러한 방안 중 하나이다. 그러나, 출입문 폭을 확장하였을 때 단축되는 승객 승하차시간을 예상하기 위해 적합한 국내 모델과 수식은 아직 수립되지 않은 형편이다. 승하차 동작은 사람의 행동 방식에 영향을 많이 받고 이는 국가 별로 상이하다는 점을 고려한다면 승하차시간에 대한 외국 모델을 따른 다는 것은 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 측정 및 실험한 데이터를 바탕으로 국내 환경에 적합한 모델을 세우고 관련 수식과 변수를 유도함으로써 출입문 폭 확장 시 승하차시간 단축효과를 예상할 수 있도록 한다.
