There are three popular modelling methods for simulation but AnyLogic is the only software that combines all of them in one package. AnyLogic simulation software allows you to test every element of a large, complex organisation

Then he simulates a delay to work out how Eurostar can best manage that disruption when it happens in reality.ĭoes a queue form because there are more passengers, when there’s a delay on the track, at Border Control where safety checks take place, or because of a combination of some or all of those things? AnyLogic gives Will the answers he needs. Using AnyLogic, Will can demonstrate how different factors (trains, passengers, equipment, etc.) are combined. “But nothing is quite the same as a simulation,” says Will. New technologies like facial recognition and automated gates to move people through quickly. We’d make a decision on how to change the terminal based on those findings.” Will Jones, EurostarĮurostar uses several different techniques to counter congestion. “The idea was to use simulation to test potential options for changes to improve the throughput. “The terminals are big and complicated systems, so you can’t just start rearranging things on the ground - it’s expensive and very disruptive,” says Will. He joined Eurostar on a Knowledge Transfer Partnership to help them build a simulation model of their London and Paris terminals to improve the passenger throughput. Will Jones, a researcher at the University of Kent, has a PhD in simulation modelling.
