ILLUSTRATED TRAIN STATIONS

Visualisation and Simulation of Pedestrians at Train Stations

Space utilization by humans is an important aspect in building design, especially for buildings with a substantial flow of pedestrians like train stations. We aim at a simulation of pedestrian flows as a visual feedback in the planning phase of buildings. The simulation has to provide feedback for the layout and dimensions of floor space. This includes the general organization of space as well ...

Estimation of Pedestrian Origin-Destination Demand in Train Stations

Smart multimodal interfaces for human-computer interaction on train stations

This paper describes some approaches to processing audio and video signals with support for speech recognition. Speech recognition and lip-reading are currently very popular research topics in the scientific community. They deal with the audio and the video signals and their interactions with each other. The goal of this paper is to show how simple methods can be used for both modalities. Namel...

Sparse representations for modeling environmental acoustic scenes, application to train stations soundscapes

Our daily life happens in a world of dense acoustic environments. This is especially the case in train stations, where soundscapes are usually very complex. In this paper, we will investigate how Non Negative Matrix Fac-torization methods can be used to obtain a low rank spectrogram approximation, composed of spectral templates that can be related to some salients events like footsteps, whistle...

The Optimization Model and Algorithm for Train Connection at Transfer Stations in Urban Rail Transit Network

In urban rail transit network, the passenger transfer time depends on the train connection states in transfer stations, so the optimization of the connection relations of arrival and departure time among trains is significant to improve the level of transfer service. Here, with the psychology of waiting passengers taken into consideration, the cost function of transfer waiting times has been es...
