Title: SIMULATION MODELING OF DEPARTING PASSENGER FLOWS FROM METRO STATION
Keywords: Simulation modeling , metro station, queuing theory, Arena s

Abstract: Simulation modeling has been a very important tool to study the passenger flows in transport. The aim of the simulation reserch was to evaluate the passenger flows in metro station. A methodology for processes simulation has been developed by using a direct-event approach and theory of queuing. In this study was investigated the departing passenger flows from metro station with two platforms. The passenger flow was investigated with multi-level model in four stages: entrance of the metro station, entrance-hall, validating machines, escalators and stairs. In the study was observed the number of passenger out system, total time in system, number of passenger waiting in queue, waiting time in queue, unavailable device probability. The simulation modelling has been applied to examine the Metro Station Stadium „Vasil Levski“ from Sofia’s metro system.The research has been conducted by using a fully licensed software Arena Enterprise Suite Academic Rockwell, version 14.
