Make the right business decisions, optimize complex processes, and predict outcomes.
AnyLogic is a multipurpose simulation software with wide-ranging capabilities.
The software is a reference in modelling technology across various industries and disciplines: transportation, manufacturing, supply chains and logistics, retail, business processes, social and ecosystem dynamics, project management, asset management, and more.
Some of AnyLogic’s notable features include:
- Ability to create discrete events, agent based and system dynamics-based simulations;
- 2D and 3D visualizations;
- Ability to import CAD drawings;
- Creation of interactive models;
- Various industry-specific tools;
- GIS map integration.

benefits
The strength of AnyLogic in analyzing transportation systems is that a simulation can be tailored to include all components of a system to the level of detail required for each project. A dynamic model can capture a railway’s operations to the level of detail necessary to study the impact of various proposed improvement projects.
The software can also simulate the proposed design of a new railway, making it possible to develop or validate an operating plan. Some examples of studies which can be done using railway simulations include:
- Railway capacity analysis;
- Analyzing the operational delays associated with train meets or other factors;
- Studying the impact of infrastructure and rolling stock-related incidents and deficiencies;
- Optimizing train meet locations;
- Fleet sizing and train composition planning;
- Analysis of loading and unloading operations at the terminals;
- Optimizing rolling stock maintenance and maintenance shop activities;
- Determining the impact of rolling stock equipment failures and repair times.
