Summary: The areas needed for a specific number of person, both at
rest (standing, waiting) and in motion (walking), at normal circulation
density and at an average speed of motion, will be analyzed. Walking will
be observed in passages and stairs and in both directions. The formation of
passenger circulation will be observed at railway stations and bus
stations, where passengers transfer from one vehicle to another. Passenger
circulation crossings will be analyzed as well as the linking and branching
off of circulation on arrival at urban bus-stops. These analyses will be
the basis for estimating the dimensions of railway facilities and passages
where persons gather and transit.
Research goals: The obtained results will serve to establish the
necessary space parameters for railways stations, such as the widths of
platforms passages and stairs as well as the number of exit needed at
places where persons gather (stadiums, ...). Passenger circulation requires
civil engineering facilities and a circulation organization. Since there
are no necessary regulations for that, they will be provided by this
project. There are four transfers on a return travel. In Croatian yearly
are travelling about 40 million passengers, consequently little improvement
will give considerable effect.
