Subway station space efficiencies; subway station safety; subway station flow layout.Abstract
As subways have become more widely used, attention has turned to the experience of subway station spaces. Given their role in absorbing and transferring passengers, improving the efficiency and suitability of these spaces is crucial. Unfortunately, there are still deficiencies in the design of many domestic subway stations, particularly older ones, filled by issues like congestion, outdated facilities, and poor security. This paper aims to explore strategies for enhancing subway station space efficiency and passenger satisfaction by analyzing security, accessibility, entrance/exit placement, and flow line arrangement. By doing so, this research will offer guidance for designing and renovating subway stations.
