Improving The quality of public transportation system : application of simulation model for passenger movement

Improvement of the railway system in Kuala Lumpur helped to reduce traffic congestion and increase the accessibility and mobility of users. The improvements considered the crowd movement and user behaviors during planning stages. This paper reports the application of simulation software in managin...
