Abstract:

In order to further prevent subway crowd stampede accidents and improve the safety management of metro stations, a metro crowd stampede resilience concept was proposed based on resilience theory. Centered on absorption capacity, resistance capacity, recovery capacity, and adaptation capacity, the developmental stages of metro crowd stampede resilience were analyzed, and a resilience evaluation index system was constructed by identifying core influencing factors related to crowd density. By integrating SD with MEE model, a metro crowd stampede resilience evaluation model was developed. This model was then applied to analyze the Beijing Xizhimen Metro Station. Results show that the model overcomes the limitation of traditional static evaluation models in depicting the dynamic evolution of the metro system's resilience capacity over time, enabling a quantitative assessment of dynamic resilience changes. The overall resilience level of Xizhimen Station is Grade II (relatively high resilience). However, due to delays in real-time monitoring and insufficient emergency response, it drops to Grade III (moderate resilience) during morning peak hours, with adaptability constrained by the low coverage rate of intelligent systems.

Key words: system dynamics(SD), matter-element extension (MEE)model, subway crowd stampede accidents, resilience assessment, crowd density
