Abstract: Summary Based on data collected by a turnstile line of an important subway station, the problem of decisions making was studied. Microscopic simulations were performed to reproduce the real behavior. A simple selection model was proposed to simulate how persons choose between different possibilities. The functionality of the criteria consider how far and how populated are each turnstile. The model was able to reproduce the utilization curve of a given layout and to predict the curve for a different geometry.
