Abstract

This work aims to solve the issues of equitable accessibility, and passenger comfort in future Cairo metro stations at micro-level during normal operation. First, the conventional evaluating tool for capacity of station facilities, and the design considerations for passengers flow in rail transit stations were recalled. Second, three future stations with different characteristics were selected as samples of study; the relevant data were collected from Tender documents. The accessibility of stations was analyzed using an access checklist extracted from disability code. Then, Flow-density analysis inside ticket hall of each station was carried out using micro-simulation software. The results showed that the stations accessibility does not achieve needs of passengers with disabilities. Moreover, levels of service inside the ticket halls are very poor and uncomfortable, although the capacities of passengers' facilities were calculated according to NFPA restrictions. Right angle junctions, service facilities existing in cross-flow, and reverse flow directions are the factors that create congestion zones and reduce the level of service. The study concluded that concept of accessibility for disables should be given more attention, whereas applying the spatial separation concept between passengers boarding and alighting will reduce the flow density and optimize the level of service.
