Pedestrian Simulation Study for EXPO Stations

To facilitate and support Dubai’s hosting of 2020 World EXPO, the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) is developing a link between the existing Dubai Metro Red Line adjacent to Sheikh Zayed road to the EXPO 2020 site near Al Maktoum International Airport. The connection will add as many as 7 (seven) new Metro stations.

RTA has commissioned Parsons – Systra to undertake a study for the extension of Dubai Metro Red Line and Parsons – Systra has invited Reza Mohammadi Consultancy to undertake a study of pedestrian flows at the new Dubai Metro stations to test the adequacy of the station design and facilities. The stations to be studies are: Nakheel Harbour and Tower Station, Discovery Garden Station, Mushriff Mall Station, Al Furjan Station, Jumeirah Golf Estate Station, Dubai Investment Park Station, Iconic EXPO Station.
