This study analyzes the factors related to the internal design of train cars, including seating layout, door clear width, and the driver’s cab evacuation passage, and their impacts on passenger evacuation capability, with the aim of providing recommendations for reasonable subway train car design from the perspective of evacuation. The research results indicate that the seating layout and door clear width have significant impacts on evacuation. Simultaneously, when evacuating through the driver’s cab, the width of the evacuation passage affects the overall evacuation time.
