碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 工業設計系創新設計碩士班 === 105 === Taipei Main Station B2 transfer platform is used as the research base because of the complexity of the metro station, the diverse transfer routes and the high density of passengers. Study finds that as passengers tend to get on the car in the middle section, which affects passengers to choose where to get on the escalator. As a result, there is a significant loading difference in the escalators going from B3 platform to B2 transfer platform. Passengers’ walking routes are also easily influenced by distance, other people’s walking routes and how people are distributed among the platform. Transferring passengers tend to prefer the nearest escalator or stairs, which often leads to a uneven passenger distribution. Especially near the turn of T junction, passengers tend to gather and cause congestion, which also makes this area with the most obstruction. As a result, passengers tend to walk alongside the wall or go around pillars to minimize their chances of colliding with others. Also, the placement and direction of escalators, stairs and ticket gates are all important factors that affect their walking routes and where they end up at. This research integrates all the observing records and proposes ways to improve the walking routes and use Unity3D to simulate the three distribution proposals. Through simulation, we find that the placement and direction of the escalator and the transfer routes have direct relations; escalators that are in line with the passengers walking direction increases the walking speed effectively. Therefore, keeping the routes well-connected with the facility is the way to improve and to have a better planned transfer route.
