In light of the increasing demand for passenger transportation on high-speed railway (HSR), the pedestrian flow at HSR stations\nhas become quite crowded in many countries, which has attracted researchers to study the HSR boarding behavior. In this paper,\nwe propose three boarding strategies based on the features of the boarding behavior at an origin HSR station; we then use a cellular\nautomaton (CA)model to study the impacts of boarding strategies on each passengerâ??smotion during the boarding process at HSR\nstation. The simulation results indicate that some of the three strategies can optimize some passengersâ?? boarding time and relieve\nthe congestion degree, and the positive impacts on the boarding process are the most prominent when the three strategies are used\nsimultaneously.The results can help administrators to effectively organize the boarding process at the origin HSR station.
