　　The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station is the most important space of passenger. According to the data , The Taipei MRT means one day-long to enter the station the passenger quantity in 2008 May to reach as high as 120 ten thousand people . In the past , the design of MRT station was usually rely on project of static standard , but pedestrian system in MRT Station has many walking path and quiet complex . Should not only depend on the static standard to make the design, should join the dynamic simulation analysis to be able to discover each kind reciprocity of walking path. 　However, studies about simulation of pedestrian system in MRT station are not well developed until now. For above-mentioned , the research will penetrate eM-Plant 7.0 to construct the simulate pattern . According to the Link and Node concept and actual pedestrian system of MRT station facility position, conjugate the workstation of eM-Plant 7.0, to construct the simulation model of pedestrian system of MRT station. The pattern scope only contains the inside of station exit , does not contain the outside of station.

　　In this study, we adopt Taipei City Hall Station , the station of Taipei MRT, to be the simulation example. The simulation model will constructed by the detail illustration and definition of pedestrian system in MRT system. We will illustrate the process how to use eM-Plant 7.0 to construct the simulation model, and other correlation, such as parameter collection, the setting of workstation and parameters. 　　Owing to the setting of simulation model needs a lot of parameters, the parameter collection must be completed and accurately, it will be important to construct the simulation model. After accomplished the construction of the simulation model, we can set many kind of situations in the simulation model, to observe the operation of pedestrian system in MRT station.
