Decision Points
There are 6 to 7 decision points along passenegrs’ path,both in ascending and descending direction.
At each decision point the passenger needs to collect

Level -1

Congestion Areas
Congestion happens due to a shift in space or time:
space is reduced and creates a bottleneck or the paceof passengers shifts thereby disrupting the movement¾RZ

Remove unnecessary decision points and U-turns by creating a straight path flow. Here the escalatorsare aligned instead
being superimposed. Conflicts, congestion and decision points are eliminated.

Dilute the conflicts by expanding the maneuver area thus reducing congestion and allowing for more
flexible paths. Here the mezzanine is double in size. Conflicts are mitigated by extra space.
