Analysis of passenger flow characteristics of Dongguan rail transit line 2

The analysis of passenger flow characteristics of operating lines is of great significance to the planning, design, operation and management of urban rail transit. A passenger flow allocation model was established based on rail transit card data, and the passenger flow characteristics of Dongguan Metro Line 2 were analyzed. From the perspective of the law of passenger flow growth, the passenger flow of Line 2 has grown steadily, and the passenger flow on weekends is higher than that on working days. Weekday passenger flow showed a single-peak feature, with an average travel time of 21 minutes and an average transport distance of 12.2 kilometers. The entrance and exit volume of the central city and the hub station is large, and the entrance and exit volume of the peripheral station is small. The cross-sectional passenger flow distribution of Line 2 shows a spindle shape, decreasing from the central city to both ends. This paper summarizes the reasons of passenger flow deviation after comparing the current passenger flow and the predicted passenger flow, and makes some suggestions for improving passenger flow.
