The passenger station region is an important distribution channel which connects the large passenger station with the outside traffic of the region. Based on the actual situation of passenger station region and "point-line-area" thought, a "section (intersection)-road-network" traffic congestion evaluation index system was built for the passenger station region. Moreover, the combined method of "status division" and "integrated weighting" was adopted to evaluate the traffic congestion intensity of "point”, “line” and “area” layers. Further, a VISSIM simulation platform was established for the Beijing South Railway Station region to simulate and evaluate its traffic congestion intensity. The result shows that most of the “points” are in a state of mild congestion, parts of the “lines” are severe congested, and the whole network’s traffic congestion intensity is moderate congested. That means the congestion has a cumulative effect and a congested point may lead to the whole network congestion
