- Premise Assumptions: In order to reduce unnecessary interference and make the model more effective in similar use cases, assumptions need to be made to reduce complexity [2]. It is assumed that physical examinations proceed in sequential order on the basis of the assigned numbers. The checkup process is conducted by the standard flow, ignoring the case of queue jumping. The simulation does not account for sudden influxes of people during group physical examinations. The dining session and the corresponding time are not incorporated into the modeling system. The upper limit for the number of individuals entering the examination system is set to ensure that all examinations conclude by 12:00 noon, excluding the situation that a large number of patients remain in the system during non-operating hours. Considering average walking speeds and pedestrian size, the contact tolerance is set at 0.3 m [59], so that physical examinees do not feel crowded or collision when moving.
- (2)
- Process Modeling: Utilize modules such as PedSource (generation source), PedService (service reception), PedSink (elimination source), and others from the pedestrian library in AnyLogic to establish a process model of physical examination [60] (Figure 5). Experimental parameters for each logic module are configured and documented (Table 3). Each physical examination item in the model corresponds to actual sample configurations, following the standard sequence and content of physical examinations. Since an ultrasound examination needs to be performed under the condition of self-sensing bladder filling, there are two possible sequences for the examination. The order of routine urine sampling is adjusted accordingly. To enhance realism, the model incorporates two different examination triage situations for physical examinees.
- (3)
- Environment Modeling: Import the floor plans of nine physical examination centers of different scales under the level of conventional equipment configurations into AnyLogic (Figure 6). The space marking module in the pedestrian library is utilized to delineate the boundaries of each area, including entrances and the extent of public spaces [52]. The open spaces such as traffic areas and waiting spaces in the floor plan are jointly counted as public spaces in the simulation. The examination service points of each item in the standard process are placed in the corresponding rooms. The examination module with parameters is associated with each examination service point one by one [61]. Rooms not designated for standard physical examination procedures are excluded from the simulation environment and processes.

- Model Validation: Run the sample model of Peking University First Hospital Physical Examination Center (Sample 3) (Figure 7). Subsequently, the reasonableness and credibility of the model are validated by comparing the differences between the model output data and actual review data [62]. The simulation results show that 150 individuals completed medical examinations between 7:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon (Figure 8). It is roughly in line with the average daily count of 160 physical examinations observed in the actual research data. This consistency suggests that the model is reliable.
- (5)
- Model Operation and Data Output: Running the sample models of all physical examination centers to obtain daily examination volumes, the total occupancy of public spaces, and the number of people in queues. Specifically, the count of individuals in public spaces encompasses all physical examinees during transit and while waiting in line for their examinations. Queue sizes in public spaces denote the number of examinees waiting in line when examination capacities are maximized. To enhance accuracy, each sample is simulated five times.
3.2. Statistical Analysis of Case Data
3.2.1. Sample Acquisition
- (1)
- Field Measurements and Data Collection: Floor plan data were obtained through field measurements or from the hospital management. This includes the layout and dimensions of different functional areas of physical examination centers.
- (2)
- Acquisition of Architectural Design Documents: CAD drawings of physical examination centers were obtained from relevant design units that have not yet been constructed.
3.2.2. Area Statistical Analysis
- (1)
- Descriptive Statistics: Descriptive analysis was used to assess the collected information [65]. Large amounts of regional data were classified, organized, and described to understand their essential characteristics and distribution. This type of analysis, called descriptive statistics, is used to present data in tabular, graphical, and numerical form.
- (2)
- Regression Analysis: This study described the relationship between independent and dependent variables by establishing a mathematical model. After establishing the regression equation, its correlation coefficient was utilized to determine its applicability.

5.1. Key Findings
- (1)
- Peak-Hour Patient Flow: The proportion of people in public spaces during peak hours at the physical examination centers ranges from 38% to 50%. The maximum (y1) and minimum (y2) values of the number of people in the queue during peak hours, as a function of the daily physical examination volume (x), are y1 = 0.3247x + 11.279 and y2 = 0.2679x + 5.808, respectively.
- (2)
- Public Space Area Ratio: The area of public space accounts for about 25% to 35% of the total area. The functional relationship between the area of public space (y) and the total area (x) is y = 0.3649x − 57.096. The per capita area of public space is approximately 6.90 to 7.10 m2 per person.
- (3)
- Waiting Space Area Ratio and Comfort Level: By converting the number of people in public spaces during peak hours into the number of seats in the waiting area, two comfort levels for waiting space can be defined. The equations, as functions of the daily physical examination volume (x) and the area of the waiting space (y), are y = 0.3052x + 10.603 (comfort level) and y = 0.2518x + 5.4595 (general comfort level). The area share of waiting space in the public space is 10% to 12.5% (comfort level) and 7% to 10% (general comfort level).
