If that is okay, I would like to use this thread to collect datas about passengers, as used by real designers and companies for their planing.
Average weight per passenger
- Rail, USA, 1901 : 151.88 pounds (69 kg)

Passenger density, standing
PeakFhour passenger load, after discounting space used for cabs, stairwells and seated passengers at 0.2/ft2 (2/m2).
0.4 p/ft2 (4 passengers/m2) of floor space in North America
0.4-0.5 p/ft2 (4-5 p/m2) in Europe
0.5-0.6 p/ft2 (5-6 p/m2) in Asia
Crush loads are 0.6, 0.6-0.7, and 0.8 p/ft2 (6, 6-7 and 8 p/m2) respectively.
Caution: some systems and manufacturers use different designations, some systems report loading in
excess of 0.8 p/ft2 (8 p/m2).

Doors
typical loading rate : one person/second/door
1,400mm allow two persons to pass at the same time, + 200mm to mitigate against anyone standing against the draught screen
Since the early 1990s the London Underground has adopted a 1,600mm double doorway as standard

TODO:
- low floor vs high floor/stairs doors
PS: all inputs are welcomed obviously, please quote your source.
