Simulation of the operation of a metro station

Authors:   Jorge Andres Garcia, Idalia Flores

Abstract

This document presents a simulation study carried out in a metro station in Mexico City, which was made in order to determine whether the station has sufficient capacity to meet passengers demand in hours of maximal influx (6 to 9 am) and to evaluate some scenarios of interest. The document begins by presenting an introduction to the metro station, then defines specifically the problem and presents the methodology followed; it presents the simulation model built in SIMIO and then shows the results. Finally, we give some conclusions about the operation of the station.
