As many passengers fail to board on trains in an overcrowded urban rail transit (URT) system during peak periods, a novel phenomenon appears that passengers are willing to spend more time and energy traveling backward to secure a seat or just a place to stand. “one-ticket-transfer” smartcards in China can only record spatiotemporal information of origin and destination (OD) without path, therefore, it is hard to identify whether the fail-to-board (FtB) passengers are traveling backward or just waiting at the platform. To identify the phenomenon of “traveling backward” and its share of passenger flow, we use affinity the propagation (AP) method under the between-within-proportion (BWP) index to cluster automatic fare collection (AFC) data with single-path OD; and carry on a field research to verify the proposed method. We also establish a virtual path to rationally assign these “traveling backward” passengers to the network, which will reflect more actual passenger flows distribution and give advice for overcrowded URT network management.
