- Design Variable
- Metro Lines
As described in the integration context, the model is intended as a design tool for exploring metro stations serving up to three metro lines. The number of metro lines is treated as a design variable ranging from one to three, reflecting realistic configurations of urban transit nodes. An increase in the number of metro lines directly corresponds to a higher number of tracks, platforms, and passenger throughput that must be accommodated within the station. In addition, stations serving multiple lines typically function as more active urban hubs, requiring increased commercial and social space to support intensified passenger flows and associated urban activities.
