Evaluation system for automatic fare gate capacity based on delphi and improved FAHP

The index of gate capacity evaluation in urban rail traffic involves many factors. From the aspect of supply-demand relationship, the evaluation system for gate capacity of urban rail traffic is constructed, which integrating Delphi method and improved Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP). Four first-level indices and thirteen second-level indices are selected. Fuxingmen station on Subway Line 1 is taken as an example to computer indices that affect the gate capacity. These three indices of gates number, passenger's familiarity and gate failure rate are emphasized. The example results prove the evaluation system conform to reality and have strong operability and availability.
