Resumen:

TACUBAYA subway station interconnects subway Lines 1,7, and 9 of Mexico City subway system. In TACUBAYA station there are a total of 24 escalators, 6 are downstream and 18 are upstream. Subway station service starts at 5 a.m. and finishes at 12 p.m. from Monday to Friday. On Saturday operates from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., and on Sundays from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. In last years, escalators have presented failures that have critically affected the passengers mobility due to tens meters of deep. The aim of this paper is to develop an agent-based simulation model to minimize the impact of escalator failures on users mobility making some escalators bidirectional allowing the flow of passengers to be continuous. First, a conceptual model of TACUBAYA subway station is developed. Second, it is implemented in computer using AnyLogicTM software. Then, some simulation scenarios are designed to evaluate the impact of escalators failures on the mobility of passengers.
