Abstract: Passenger flow forecast is based on an important project and the project feasibility analysis, traffic forecasting results not only determine the use of light rail ｏｒ subway line mode, but also affect the size of nets, driving cross road, the trend line, grid spacing, vehicle marshalling, vehicle the main section of the scale factor, the number of the car, the full range of project cost and other factors. Make urban rail transit planning in particular to ensure that the passenger volume forecast for rail transit construction science, rationality and feasibility of great importance. Rail Transit passenger flow forecast not only in urban rail transit planning is extremely important, it is also the main basis for rail transit construction scale decisions, and plays an important role in the project design.
