Summary:[Objective] The current design calculation methods for platform width suffer from issues such as low passenger flow prediction accuracy, broad range of passenger flow density parameter values, unclear selection criteria, and a lack of quantifiable basis for design margins. Improvement is needed targeting the situation, parameter values for platform width design is calibrated based on stimulation tests. [Method] Based on the standards outlined in the Code for Design of Metro, a grading standard for platform service levels is established, and a single-side platform width design method based on platform service level is proposed. Through simulation tests, key parameters are calibrated, and a conversion coefficient between theoretical and actual values of passenger flow density is obtained by fitting the relationship curve of passenger volume and single-side platform peak density using least squares method. Considering the factors influencing platform width, passenger flow conversion calculations are performed fo
