How to classify subway passenger flow?

(1) According to the time distribution characteristics of passenger flow, urban rail transit passenger flow can be divided into full-day time-sharing passenger flow and peak-hour passenger flow. Full-day passenger flow refers to the daily passenger flow transported by urban rail transit lines. Full-time time-sharing passenger flow refers to the passenger flow transported by urban rail transit lines every hour in a day. Peak hour passenger flow refers to the passenger flow transported in the morning, evening peak hours and holiday peak hours of urban rail transit lines.

(2) According to the spatial distribution characteristics of passenger flow, urban rail transit passenger flow can be divided into section passenger flow and station passenger flow. Cross-section passenger flow refers to the passenger flow passing through each section of urban rail transit lines. Station passenger flow refers to the passenger flow that gets on and off at the urban rail transit station.

(3) According to the source of passenger flow, the passenger flow of urban rail transit can be divided into basic passenger flow, diverted passenger flow and induced passenger flow. Basic passenger flow refers to the existing passenger flow of urban rail transit lines plus the passenger flow increased according to the normal growth rate. Transfer passenger flow refers to the passenger flow that is transferred from regular bus and bicycle travel to urban rail transit. Induced passenger flow refers to the new passenger flow induced by promoting the scale of land development and the prosperity of commercial activities along the urban rail transit line after it is put into operation.
