An Environmental Behavioural Study of Crowd Flow Transformation at Taipei MRT Station

The Taipei subway transfer station is a busy space, has a variety of public transportation and also has multiple activities. If this creates an effective understanding of a traveller's dynamic, it can significantly reduce the area of potential danger. In order to ensure the security of personal data, our research uses the lowest-resolution image to record. We survey more than one thousand digital video records, including peak, off-peak and minor peak hours, to find the approximate spatial and temporal distribution of the crowd. Our study proposes a process for crowd investigation and through data analysis assesses the effectiveness of its methods and processes for flow investigation. Our study explores the potential risk of spatial and temporal distribution as the next stage of research for subway transfer station performance assessment.
