Abstract

With the rapid development of railway in life, the number and capital investment of railway projects such as the platform design and construction, equipment maintenance and replacement are increasing year by year, and the resulting construction safety risks and operational safety management risks are increasing day by day. Most of the safety hazards in the construction stage can easily affect the train operation, and bring many adverse safety impacts to the lives of construction workers, staff and passengers during operation. By summarizing and analyzing relevant literature, this paper conducts safety risk assessment and emergency evacuation simulation for a station yard construction project, briefly analyzes the influencing factors of emergency evacuation for subway accidents, and proves the effectiveness of safety risk management for the station construction project through simulation. At the same time, by simulating emergency evacuation, it simulates the evacuation efficiency of iron station accidents, so as to put forward emergency measures for emergency evacuation and rescue of subway stations, improve the related functions of monitoring system, and achieve the purpose of promoting the prevention and control of potential safety hazards, reducing the frequency of safety accidents, reducing accident losses and reducing casualties.
