This research synthesises user observations with theory to produce a new conceptual model of a safe and inclusive public transport building that could contribute more to society. This immersive case study integrates Level of Service (LOS), Vertical Severance (VS), Service Design (SD) and inclusivity theory. It explores rival cases (a typical first-generation station design vs. a ‘next, next generation’ design) in a simulation of a busy, urban underground station using Agent Based Modelling (ABM) as a research instrument. ABM is an accepted industry tool that is currently only used to explore LOS. Innovations include, (i) Integrating LOS, VS and inclusivity theory, (ii) solving ‘wicked’ inclusive design research problems with next, next generation and ‘satisficing’ theory, (iii) producing a new conceptual model for an inclusive transport building by integrating circulation with SD, (iv) finding no correlation between increasing LOS and increasing the size or cost of a building. Therefore, adopting this new conceptual model could enable inclusivity benefits in urban and congested contexts.
