Metro stations are vital urban transportation hubs, handling substantial pedestrian traffic, especially during peak hours. Research on pedestrian movement within these stations is crucial for understanding crowd behavior, flow patterns, congestion, and evacuation strategies. This study employs a microscopic analysis approach, using the social force model to simulate pedestrian behavior at Choti Choupar Jaipur metro station. It examines various pedestrian parameters, including walking speeds, densities, and directional preferences. Alongside simulation, a questionnaire survey captures user perceptions of discomfort in different station areas. The VISWALK tool analyzes pedestrian movement dynamics, focusing on flow patterns and congestion levels. The study carefully considers factors such as station layout, platform configuration, and passenger behavior to propose strategies for optimizing station design and crowd management. The research also assesses the level of service (LOS) related to changes in average pedestrian density, emphasizing comfort, convenience, and safety. This focus on service quality allows metro station operators and urban planners to identify improvement areas, prioritize enhancements, and implement interventions to enhance the passenger experience. Additionally, the study examines the impact of shops with varying dimensions within entry/exit and passageway areas. Notably, the findings suggest that strategically integrating shops into passageways can be done without compromising pedestrian comfort. The research highlights that the entry/exit and platform areas contribute most to pedestrian discomfort, as indicated by user perception surveys and average density results during peak hours. These insights are valuable for optimizing metro station user dynamics and improving overall service quality.
