Abstract

With the development of economy, railway construction is gradually expanding to the plateau area, and the number of super-long railway tunnels at high altitude is increasing year by year. Compared with the plain area, due to the influence of hypoxia and panic, there are obvious differences in evacuation rules in plateau environment. In this paper, considering the high altitude environment, panic psychology, people’s age and gender and train structure factors, we use the Pathfinder personnel evacuation simulation technology, simulate and analyze evacuation of personnel in emergency rescue stations with different structural parameters. Finally we obtain the characteristics and rules of the evacuation of personnel in emergency rescue stations of high-altitude railway tunnels, and give the suggested design values of structural parameters of emergency rescue stations of high-altitude railway tunnels, so as to provide reference basis for its construction.
