In order to study the capacity of stairway in urban rail transit hubs, pedestrian flow and density were collected by the survey of upward stairway and downward stairway in Beijing Xizhimen rail transit hub. With the survey data, this paper fits flow-density curves and establishes corresponding function models. Based on the traffic flow theory, it calculates the actual capacity of upward stairway and downward stairway, and makes a contrast with the Code for Metro Design. Furthermore, the suggested design capacity of stairway is given based on the level of service. The results will provide references for the design of stairway in urban rail transit hubs.
