Received: 11 October 2019; Accepted: 23 December 2019; Published: 25 December 2019 Abstract: Traffic congestion, especially during peak hours, has become a challenge for transportation systems in many metropolitan areas, and such congestion causes delays and negative effects for passengers. Many studies have examined the prediction of congestion; however, these studies focus mainly on road traffic, and subway transit, which is the main form of transportation in densely populated cities, such as Tokyo, Paris, and Beijing and Shenzhen in China, has seldom been examined. This study takes Shenzhen as a case study for predicting congestion in a subway system during peak hours and proposes a hybrid method that combines a static traffic assignment model with an agent-based dynamic traffic simulation model to estimate recurrent congestion in this subway system.

  • An Analysis of Time-Varying Crowding on Subway Platforms Using AFC Data in Seoul Metropolitan Subway Network
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 6 March 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202003.0109.v1 Article An Analysis of Time-Varying Crowding on Subway Platforms using AFC Data in Seoul Metropolitan Subway Network Seongil Shin 1, Sangjun Lee 2* 1 Department of Transportation System Research, The Seoul Institute; [email protected] 2 Department of Transportation System Research, The Seoul Institute; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected](S.L.); [email protected](S.S.) Abstract: Management of crowding at subway platform is essential to improving services, preventing train delays and ensuring passenger safety. Establishing effective measures to mitigate crowding at platform requires accurate estimation of actual crowding levels. At present, there are temporal and spatial constraints since subway platform crowding is assessed only at certain locations, done every 1~2 years, and counting is performed manually Notwithstanding, data from smart cards is considered real-time big data that is generated 24 hours a day and thus, deemed appropriate basic data for estimating crowding. This study proposes the use of smart card data in creating a model that dynamically estimates crowding. It first defines crowding as demand, which can be translated into passengers dynamically moving along a subway network. In line with this, our model also identifies the travel trajectory of individual passengers, and is able to calculate passenger flow, which concentrates and disperses at the platform, every minute. Lastly, the level of platform crowding is estimated in a way that considers the effective waiting area of each platform structure. Keywords: Automated Fare Collection (AFC), Smart Card, Crowding, Practical Waiting Area, Subway Station Platform, Time-Varying, Late-Night Peak 1.

  • Administration's Paper on the Implementation of Co-Location Arrangement at the Redeveloped Huanggang Port
    LC Paper No. CB(2)814/20-21(03) For discussion on 2 March 2021 Legislative Council Panel on Security Implementation of Co-location Arrangement at the Redeveloped Huanggang Port Purpose This paper aims to brief Members on the progress of implementing co-location arrangement at the redeveloped Huanggang Port being taken forward by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“HKSAR”) Government and the Shenzhen Municipal Government. Background 2. The HKSAR Government has been striving to closely collaborate with other cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (“GBA”) to promote the development of the GBA. According to the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area promulgated by the Central Government in February 2019, one of the seven key initiatives of the GBA development is to expedite infrastructural connectivity among cities in the GBA by enhancing the handling capacity and clearance facilitation of control points in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao and promoting an efficient and convenient flow of people and goods. With the commissioning of the Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai (“LT/HYW”) Control Point for cargo clearance on 26 August 2020, Hong Kong and Shenzhen are now connected via five land boundary control points (“BCPs”) providing passenger and cargo clearance services and two passenger-based railway BCPs1. 1 The LT/HYW Control Point was commissioned on 26 August 2020, providing cargo clearance service only at the initial stage in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. The other four land BCPs between the two cities are the Huanggang/Lok Ma Chau Control Point, the Man Kam To Control Point, the Sha Tau Kok Control Point and the Shenzhen Bay Port.
