In Shanghai, the Metro is a major part of a modern urban transit system. Essential to the safe operation of the metro station is the design for emergency evacuations. Based on the comparative study of different simulation theories and methods of group evacuation behavior, Exodus V4.06 and Smartfire V4.1 were employed to simulate the evacuation under different risks in one metro station in Shanghai. The computation result shows that people's distribution in the station has significant influence on the evacuation time and the exits used; the intervention on evacuation route, such as the proper guidance from the working staff, is essential to ensure the right choice of evacuation route, evacuation time saving, and personnel safety.
