Rail transit train dwell time, which is one of the crucial factors of train delay, is affected by variance of passenger flow in different stations. Train dwell delay and passenger flow variation is affected by each other. Long train dwell delay in station may cause passenger delay and propagation over the whole line, it needs to take a long time to restore from disturbances. A train dwell delay model, which has considered the process and the variant number of waiting, alighting and boarding passengers is proposed in this paper. By using the time-driven simulation, the influences of train and passenger delay are calculated. Finally numerical examples and computational results are presented. The results reveal that passenger flow variation and train delay are two mutual influence processes. The increase of passenger flow may extend train dwell time and affect train delay in the line. In corresponding, the growth of train delay will increase the number of assembling passengers in station as well.
