abstract = {Functionality of railway platforms could be assessed by
Level of Service concepts. They describe interactions
between humans and the built environment and allow to rate
risks due to overcrowding. To improve existing concepts, a
detailed analysis of how pedestrians use the space is
performed and new measurement and evaluation methods are
introduced. Trajectories of passengers at platforms in Bern
and Zurich Hardbrücke (Switzerland) are analysed. Boarding
and alighting passengers show different behaviour,
considering the travel paths, waiting times and mean speed.
Density, speed and flow profiles are exploit and a new
measure for the occupation of space is introduced. The
Analysis has shown, that it is necessary to filter the data
in order to reach a realistic assessment of the Level of
Service. Three main factors should be considered: the time
of day, the times when trains arrive and depart and the
platform side. Therefore, density, speed and flow profiles
are averaged over the time of one minute and calculated
depending on the train arrival. The methodology developed in
this article is the basis for enhanced and more specific
Level of Service concepts and offers the possibility to
optimise planning of transportation infrastructures with
regard to functionality and sustainability.},
