Description

Station Space Configuration Method

The present invention relates to a space configuration method, and more particularly to a station space configuration method that completes station space configuration and three-dimensional (3D) modeling through a visual programming interface.

The quality of a station's spatial configuration directly affects the comfort of passengers entering, exiting and waiting for trains, as well as the operational efficiency of various facilities within the station.

Generally, external restrictions such as off-street land and road width must be considered at the initial stage of station design to confirm the location of each entrance and exit. The planning of public areas within the station needs to consider the horizontal or vertical movement of passengers, including the paid area, the unpaid area, and the movement lines leading to each entrance and exit. Mechanical, electrical, water and other machine rooms are set up in non-public areas. Machine rooms with specific functions have adjacent or similar requirements and must be configured in a modular manner. If it is an underground station, its air intake, exhaust, pressure relief and other pipes need to occupy a larger space and must be connected to the ground entrances and exits or ventilation shafts at specific locations.

The common station design process today includes the above basic elements and their derivative details. The design results such as the number of facilities and space configuration must meet the requirements of the specifications, and the escape routes and time of the station must also be reviewed. There are many station design rules, and various design parameters are closely linked, especially in the detailed design stage, which requires more rigorous review.

Spatial configuration is an important part of the station design process. In the past, it was usually done by drawing computer-aided design (CAD) floor plans, and then building 3D models based on the CAD floor plans. The traditional CAD floor plan-based operation method requires that when the design plan changes, the CAD floor plan must be reflected and corrected and then fed back to the 3D model, which is difficult to avoid rework and affects design efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to develop customized design tools to change the spatial configuration workflow. In addition to no longer relying on CAD floor plans in the design process, it can also achieve the goal of using programs to assist in building basic 3D models and improve overall work efficiency.

Therefore, the inventor of this case came up with the present invention after observing the above issues.

To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a station space configuration method, comprising: loading the number of facilities and space demand values of the station into a space configuration program, inputting the station space geometry conditions and vertical traffic line conditions into the space configuration program, the space configuration program arranges and combines the number of facilities and the space demand values according to the station space geometry conditions and the vertical traffic line conditions to generate at least one station space configuration plan; and inputting the station space configuration plan into a modeling program, the modeling program extracts the three-dimensional graphics of the building components corresponding to the station space configuration plan from the building component library to generate a three-dimensional model of the station.

In one embodiment, the number of facilities and the space requirement value include the minimum number of escalators, the number of stairs, the minimum number of ticket machines, the number of ticket gates, the minimum platform width, the area of the machine room, the required width of the entrance and exit passages, and the number of public toilets.

In one embodiment, the station space geometric conditions include the elevation of the station floors, the scope of public areas and non-public areas, and the vertical traffic line conditions include elevator shafts, escalators and stairs.

In one embodiment, the spatial configuration program, the modeling program, and the building component library store the corresponding relationship of the three-dimensional graphics of the building components.

In one embodiment, the three-dimensional image of building elements includes universal building elements and station-specific elements.

The station space configuration method of the present invention applies a space configuration program and a modeling program. Designers input the station space geometric conditions and vertical movement line conditions, and can perform modular design guided by the program flow to generate a space configuration plan and a station three-dimensional model corresponding to the space configuration plan, thereby greatly improving the modeling quality and efficiency of the station three-dimensional model and effectively reducing the possibility of rework.

The calculation program can automatically load the station facility specification values from the specification database (not shown). After the calculation program receives the data related to the station parameters input by the designer, it automatically brings in the relevant station facility specification values and calculates the facility quantity and space requirement values.

Specifically, the station parameter data include station type, number of floors, floor names, peak hour train interval (unit: minute), platform length (unit: meter), number of passengers on a fully loaded train, etc.; the relevant station facility specification values include peak hour passenger volume, normal and abnormal escalator transport capacity (person/minute), number of passengers processed per minute by automatic ticket machines, ticket gate speed (person/minute), etc. minutes), the required area per passenger in normal and abnormal situations (square meters/person), the passenger walking speed and stair climbing speed (meters/second), etc.; the number of facilities and space requirements generated by the calculation program include the minimum number of escalators, the number of stairs, the minimum number of automatic ticket machines, the number of ticket checking gates, the minimum platform width, the area of the machine room, the required width of the entrance and exit passages, the number of public toilets, etc.
