Analysis of Factors Affecting the Path Selection of Stranded Passengers in Urban Rail Transit Public Health Emergencies

In recent years, passenger stranding incidents induced by public health emergencies in urban rail transit have become increasingly prevalent. There are multidimensional factors influencing the path selection behaviors of passengers. This study takes sudden health incidents as an example and employs a pre-trial survey questionnaire to collect data on path selections made by stranded passengers under various influencing factors during sudden health-related emergencies. Furthermore, the role of travel characteristics, physical and mental health status, risk perception, and decision preferences in path selection by stranded passengers under various influencing factors is systematically analyzed. Finally, a path selection model based on the Logit model is constructed to provide scientific and actionable support for rail transit emergency management and enhance the resilience of urban transportation systems.
