Abstract Ticket gates are vital equipment within subway stations, which have also caused bottlenecks in pedestrian flow. The effective utilization of ticket gates can enhance the pedestrian traffic efficiency. Nevertheless, pedestrian choice of ticket gates has the characteristics of uncertainty and fuzziness. In this regard, we build a fuzzy-theory-based pedestrian choice model of ticket gates: the distance, queuing pedestrians and luggage are adopted as three input variables in the fuzzy logic method, and the probability of selecting each ticket gate is set as the output variable. On this basic, we employ social force model (SFM) to simulate the ticket gates selection process in subway stations. Simulation results demonstrate that the choice model based on fuzzy logic can capture pedestrian choice behavior of ticket gates well. In comparison to traditional choice strategies (choosing the nearest ticket gate or choosing the ticket gate with the fewest queuing pedestrians), the proposed choice model of ticket gates based on fuzzy logic has the higher passing efficiency and the utilization of ticket gates is more balanced. The outcomes of this research can provide substantial support for the humanized design and operation management of subway stations.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
