Multi-modal Transit Station Planning Method Using Discrete Event System Formalism

A multi-modal transit station is a complex system in the urban system and takes important roles in our daily life. Since various transportation systems a large scale of passenger participates to the station, design and analysis of the multi-modal transit station are important problem. This paper presents a modeling and simulation method to support designing the transit station. First, we introduce the modeling method to build a simulation models to capture the behavior of vehicles and the crowds using the Discrete Event System (DEVS) formalism. Then, we introduce a simulation environment for multi-modal transit station which is based on the DEVSim++. In this simulation environment, we support requirement verification method based on the untimed DEVS model, and it checks the requirements by executing the simulation model and the untimed DEVS model altogether.
