As a result, we are leading urban renewal projects, such as housing redevelopment and reconstruction projects, supported by the brand power of “We’ve”, which is one of the most prominent housing brands in Korea. We also have been building a good reputation in development projects, creating ultra- large buildings both in the center of major cities including the Seoul metropolitan area. In particular, we successfully completed the construction of the “Haeundae Doosan We’ve the Zenith”, an 80-floor mixed-use building 300-meter high, and the “Gimhae Centum Doosan We’ve the Zenith”, an ultra-large residential complex for 3,435 households, demonstrating, once again, Doosan E&C’s technological prowess.

The first (Phase 1) section, completed in 2009, stretches 25.5kmand connects Gangnam and Gangseo, Seoul by being operated from Gimpo Airport to Banpo through Yeoui-do. The second (Phase 2) section of Eeonju, Seonjeongneung, Samsung Jungang, Bongeunsa and Sports Complex stations were additionally opened in March 2015. Subway Line 9 is connected to most of the lines in the city (except for Subway Lines 6 and 8), and it is the only line in Seoul that operates an express line in the entire system. It was constructed through private investment for the first time in Korea as an urban rail transit and promoted by a public-private partnership (PPP) project in the Build-Transfer-Operate (BTO) that transfers the ownership of the facilities to the Seoul metropolitan government after the completion and allows private investors to gain benefits from investment for 30 years of operation in accordance with the agreement with the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

  • 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    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 6 March 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202003.0109.v1 Article An Analysis of Time-Varying Crowding on Subway Platforms using AFC Data in Seoul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.
