Evaluation of passenger service capacity at side platform elevated stations on metro line No.1: Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien

This study develops a simulation model for an elevated side-platform station on Metro Line No. 1 Bến Thành – Suối Tiên, focusing on Thảo Điền Station. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the station’s passenger service capacity. Based on the Level of Service (LOS) classification system and performance indicators, the authors analyzed and identified the station’s capacity under various conditions. Accordingly, the study discusses solutions to improve capacity and further develop the station’s simulation model.
