A simulation model based on Petri nets is presented to evaluate the performance of the transfer procedure for passengers in urban railway transit hubs. A systemic and physical description of urban railway transit hubs is illustrated by Petri nets model. The simulation model was verified through a real case to analyze the evolution of the number of transfer passengers on the facilities and the equipments and measure the transfer time for all the transfer passengers in the hubs. It is showed that a potential and effective method is provided to evaluate and optimize the design of the transit hubs.
