The purpose of this paper is to present a simulation model for railway stations (RS). Firstly, through a systemic description, the authors have shown that a RS can be considered as a hybrid dynamical system (HDS). Then, in order to represent the main intrinsic characteristics of RS, they have built a hybrid Petri net-based model. This model has been analyzed for i) checking purposes, and ii) evaluating some qualitative properties of the system. Finally, for illustrating the suggested methodology of study, a typical subway station has been simulated through a rush period scenario. Owing to a quantitative analysis of the marking evolution of the hybrid model, it is possible to make a performance evaluation of the station facilities and to underline some structural and functional limits of the studied station. The authors also believe that this simulation model can be successfully used for designing the station facilities by controlling intrinsic parameters of the model.
