Simulation

Simulation is an indispensable tool for rapidly quantifying the operational impact of changes to facilities, systems, processes, and infrastructure. It provides the ability to model, analyze, optimize, test and select the best possible alternative solutions, while taking into consideration variables associated with demand, schedules, priorities, equipment capabilities, layouts, costs, and constraints.

Modeling can begin at the conceptual design stage and evolve through start-up to ongoing support of decision making once systems are up and running. Results are presented graphically and dynamically to facilitate analysis of performance and to better understand bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement.

Using a range of modeling technology to support rail analysis projects including Rail Traffic Controller (RTC) and TranSystems’ unique Transportation Modeling Studio (TMS), TranSystems offers the ability to create custom solutions for clients to analyze infrastructure capacity requirements across many different operating and business environments. TranSystems’ staff tailors the approach to correlate with overall project lifecycle, whether in the initial conceptual stages or later “Proof of Engineering” analysis.

The traditional transportation design and engineering process often focuses on “What can be built?” This is a necessary part of the process where overall objectives and constraints are considered to create solutions. Through modeling, TranSystems offers the additional capability to integrate the process of determining “What should be built?” based on the traffic volumes and considering the flexibility of infrastructure requirements when there are multiple operators or activities occurring in a facility that must be managed.
