Abstract: The automatic platform gates system (APG) and platform screen doors system (PSD) have been applied in the subways in some cities because of its security. As for the two methods,sometimes,it is difficult to decide which one is better for a certain project. The influence of the train-induced air on subway station and the comfort level of subway station in dynamic and transient conditions was analysized based on experimental data. The comfort level,content of inspiratory particles and noise level show that the environment of subway station with APG can satisfy the requirement of the standard. The air conditioning (A/C) cooling load and ventilation energy consumption of the two kinds of subway stations was predicted with the EnergyPlus program. Because electricity consumption by ventilation equipment increases notably when PSD is used,particularly the electricity consumption by the under platform exhaust (UPE) fan,and thus,ultimately,little difference exists in the overall energy consumption with and without PSD. The APG system is economical for the subway stations of the north cities. And it can satisfy the comfort of passengers for whistle stop. It can be concluded that in north cities APG system is better than PSD system.
