Operations Modelling – Optimizing Rail and Transit Systems

In this webinar we explore what operations simulations are and how they can be applied to capture the system behavior, interactivity and stochasticity in the real world and represent them in an accurate computerized environment. With the right data and approach, simulations can be used to prepare our clients for possible outcomes of various scenarios, visualize root causes, investigate improvements. Through this process, optimization and operational resiliency can be achieved without investing in expensive infrastructure upfront, mitigate the risk of potential unknown consequences, and save tax payer’s dollars.

We discuss an example of using the railway operations simulation for Toronto’s GO Rail Expansion – On-Corridor Project from the initial proposal stage to the design stage through a continuous iterative design process, and how the results of the simulation are being implemented in the project delivery.

This webinar is for design engineers of all disciplines and project managers, working on complex transit system projects, to illustrate the utility and value which can be brought by various types of rail modelling and simulation application to the delivery of high quality solutions while minimizing risk and cost of rework.
