Transportation Modeling Studio™ pdf

Transportation Modeling Studio™ (TMS), Automation Associates' new simulation modeling solution, enables planning-level capacity analysis for marine and intermodal terminal facilities, regional rail systems and surface transportation networks.

TMS can be tailored to the unique operating plans and layouts for systems that range from a single terminal facility to network designs with multiple terminals and transportation modes. TMS helps clients:

• Determine needed resource and infrastructure capacity to support projected and peak traffic demands
• Incorporate port security measures without degrading operating performance
• Select among alternate infrastructure layouts based on performance differences
• Determine appropriate road-to-rail diversion balance

Features

• Easy-to-use - no previous simulation modeling experience necessary
• Incorporate any type of operating plan including schedule, volumes, priorities and subsystem interactions
• Flexible, customizable user interface allows users to analyze data faster and more accurately than conventional programs
• Rapidly change infrastructure design and layout using "drag-and-drop" map-like user interface
• Outputs include summary level operational and level-of-service measures and graphs, as well as detailed time-of-day reports
