A Study on Layout Design and Evaluation Methods of Passenger Drop Off Lanes on Elevated Roads in Large Railway Stations

In this paper, the optimum layout of passenger drop off lanes on elevated roads in large railway station is studied. Based on the discussion of the evolution of railway stations´ functionality, solutions of passenger drop off lanes layout are proposed. In addition, traffic organization and corresponding evaluation parameters of passenger drop off area are discussed. New Zhenzhou high-speed railway station is used as a case study. Solution of how passenger drop off lanes should be designed in new Zhenzhou high-speed railway station is presented based on VISSIM simulation results. The practice of the proposed design has been proved to be applicable and successful.
