Location & identification of all entry & exit doors of each station on the digital maps of the cities

Entry & Exit doors: 730

Stations: 274

Panels: 9,492

Issues (it is a DRAWING !!!!)

Not useful for traffic analysis No transit axis No “intelligence” . No way to

differentiate a stair or a corridor

Information provided by City council: CAD Files of stations.

It was mandatory to create a “Digital map”, a cartography map. Axis or segments of traffic

Platforms with length and width

Location of each panel

Classification of each element in the station Hall Entry / Exit Platform Corridors Stairs

• Manual process to prepare and adapt all CAD File. – Axis simplification

– Panel identification and location

• Specific Software development that converts CAD files to Digital Map files.

Not all information updated or complete.

All floors were drawn in the same level. Difficult to understand.

Problems with code and Ids between city council and media owners.

Connexions

On the digital cartographic maps with a specific developed software, it calculates the optimum journey path and its probabilities based in minimum distances and maximum easiness.

Probability automatically assigned if there are various alternative paths.

The internal path of most stations are unique and without options.

(Very different form the open air city journeys).

Platform

Most Probable

Path

The Software calculates the path of the journeys inside the Stations.

Platform

Most Probable Path

Origin Station [2 entry corridors]

Destintation [1 exit corridor]

Most probable area

The position most probable in the platform is based in the exit corridor of the station at the destination

Most Probable Area Origin Station [2 entry corridors]

Destintation [1 exit corridor]

The position at the platform is based in the entry corridors that connect in the origin station.
