Simulation Analysis of Passenger Evacuation and Rescue in Straddle Monorail Transit Intervals
Journal Title: Urban Mass Transit - Year 2024, Vol 27, Issue 8
Abstract
Objective Due to the unique characteristics of straddle monorail transit system, evacuation and rescue forms on its elevated lines differ from conventional urban rail transit. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth study of interval passenger evacuation and rescue methods and evacuation efficiency for this system. Method A simulation model for passenger evacuation and rescue in straddle monorail transit intervals is established. The influencing factors of three typical interval passenger evacuation and rescue methods are studied and the rescue measures with higher evacuation efficiency are explored. For both horizontal and vertical evacuation and rescue scenarios, methods to determine the placement and quantity of rescue facilities for optimal evacuation efficiency are proposed. More scientific and reasonable suggestions for passenger evacuation and rescue in straddle monorail transit intervals are provided. Result & Conclusion Research results indicate that: in terms of evacuation influencing factors, the placement and quantity of evacuation and rescue equipment affect horizontal rescue time; the inclination angle of fire ladder affects vertical evacuation and rescue time; the guidance from staff positively impacts passenger evacuation and rescue in straddle monorail transit intervals. In terms of evacuation efficiency, horizontal rescue should be prioritized over longitudinal and vertical evacuation and rescue methods. The placement of horizontal and vertical evacuation and rescue equipment should ensure equal distribution of evacuees on each horizontal rescue board. For vertical evacuation and rescue, evacuation efficiency initially decreases and then increases with fire ladder inclination angle increasing.
