To investigate the radiation level of the electric field on the high-speed rail platform to ensure the safety of the passengers, the finite element method was used to simulate the spatial distribution of the electric field caused by the high-speed railway catenary, and the simulation model of the body part attribute was estab- lished. The subarea model was adopted to realize fast and accurate simulation calculation of electric field around human and overcome the contradiction between the computational speed and accuracy when using conventional mesh subdivision method. The inductive current and contact current of the human body on the high speed rail- way platform were analyzed, and the safety of the electric field environment around the human body was compre- hensively evaluated according to the national standard limit. The research results shows that: ① The subarea model method has the advantages of high accuracy and saving time; ② The passengers of the waiting line out- side the yellow line have good adaptability to the induced current and contact current induced by electric field of the catenary.
