Mitigating the congestion level on platforms can contribute to passengers' boarding efficiency and ensuring normal operation order and security of stations. With passenger saturation describing the congestion level on platform and by analyzing the constitution of dwelling passengers on each railway platform and its distribution characteristics regarding trains' arrival-departure time, a train arrival-departure time, coordination optimization model of urban railway transit network was established with minimizing the total transferring time among all rail lines as well as the maximum passenger saturation level on platform as the optimization objects. It was followed by a solving algorithm based on genetic algorithm to realize the efficient coordination of train arrival-departure time to each connecting lines at transfer station. Analysis of a numerical example demonstrated that this method can not only efficiently reduce dwell passengers on each platform during high peak period, but also effectively mitigate passenger saturation on platform at transfer stations.
