Abstract:At present, the passenger drop-off platforms of many railway stations have normalized congestion problems, mainly due to the unreasonable scale of the length of the drop-off at the side of the lane. The key index of the average drop-off length of vehicles affecting the calculation of scale is studied experimentally. 96 groups of control experiments are used to simulate the drop-off behavior to define five characteristic indicators of inbound length, parking area length, outbound length, inbound angle and outbound angle. The trajectory analysis is carried out to clarify the impact of inbound speed, vehicle dimension, driving years and other factors on the indicator value. The recommended interval value of the index is 9.5~12.5 m. In case of tight space, the recommended interval value can be further reduced to 8~10 m.
