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.
