Archer Aviation is reshaping urban mobility by introducing a fleet of electric aircraft designed to operate in urban environments. These aircraft can save valuable time by utilizing the third dimension. To support them, the company focused on utilizing a network of vertiports from which these aircraft would take off and land. Using a simulation model, Archer has determined the optimal design for these vertiports and how to optimize ground operations for quick aircraft turnaround.

AREP, the subsidiary of «SNCF Gares & Connexions», developed a simulation model which optimized the utilizing of the Transmanche Terminal of Paris’ Gare du nord. The main goal was to reduce the waiting time upstream and at the points of control of passengers. The model enabled to locate, value and represent the possible dysfunctions in these areas.
From 2020, due to the global pandemic, airports saw decreased passenger numbers around the world. As this pandemic starts to subside, airports are looking to increase their traffic numbers. Therefore, Montreal International Airport enlisted GSS, a Canadian based consultancy firm, dealing primarily with Airports, Aerospace & Energy, Health and Life Science, and Supply Chain to work on a Smart Baggage Handling System to help facilitate this growth.
The Eiffel Tower operating company (SETE) used AnyLogic software to optimize the flow of tourists at the monument. With its help the engineers increased the number of visitors without redesign, but with people movement control.
STAM is a multidisciplinary engineering company based in Italy that provides high-tech custom solutions to meet its client’s business challenges. Its engineers created a simulation model of metro station crowd behavior for the purpose of analyzing different attack scenarios.
Fair Dynamics, a Milan based consulting company with a distinct aspect towards simulation modeling, was engaged in developing The Ametria project, a contemporary art exhibition held in the Athens’ Benaki Museum. AnyLogic simulation modeling let engineers see where the artworks could be placed, as well as show how people could move inside the gallery.
Sheremetyevo is Russia’s largest airport, with an annual passenger throughput of 40 million people. The airport infrastructure is constantly expanding. Passenger Terminal B is to be commissioned in 2018, and in 2020 and 2023 it will be integrated with Terminals C1 and C2 which are under construction. Additionally, a plan is underway to expand the car parking area at the station square. These changes are expected to help increase the airport capacity and reach an annual throughput of 52 million passengers by 2024.
