Group Control of Escalators: Modeling Based on Data and Optimization of Distribution

The purpose of this paper is to find the way how to distribute the number of escalators which are up and down among the escalator group according to the curve of crowd. Under the circumstances where there are both upstream and downstream of the crowd, the passenger transport model is established based on the sampled data and the problem of the number distribution of the escalators is solved in the sense of zero-sum game. The simulation results demonstrate the rationality and effectiveness of the proposed method.
