The crowd gathering in the subway station is easy to cause congestion, which reduces the evacuation speed and increases the probability of accidents. The efficiency and safety of emergency evacuation are crucial in the emergency management of the subway station. This paper proposes an optimization method of emergency evacuation in subway stations based on topology structure. The method constructs the topology model of the passageway and exit of the station, determines the shortest passage time as the optimization goal, and uses ant colony algorithm to solve the model and optimize the evacuation path. This paper selects a subway station in Beijing for case analysis to optimize the evacuation path of the subway, and this model obtains the best evacuation path and shortest evacuation time. The research results show that the model presented in this paper can effectively guide the emergency evacuation under the emergency in the subway station, reduce the accident risk and improve the evacuation efficiency. This model provides theoretical basis and practical guidance for the emergency management and design of subway stations.
