Abstract

With the fast development of metro systems in many big cities, it is important to study the characteristics of passenger flows based on metro data for the management to guarantee service quality and safety. In this article, we build statistical models for the data of passengers’ tap-in and tap-out times in both no-transfer and one-transfer cases, and propose a Bayesian approach to estimate parameters in the models. These estimators can be used to evaluate a number of measures, which describe degrees of congestion and comfort, and to quantify their uncertainties. Application of our approach to Beijing metro shows different passengers follow different patterns between different routes and between off-peak and peak hours.
