Here, the user has
specified that a
train's display color
indicates its on-time
performance (and
specified 3 OTP
categories: green
for early and ontime; yellow for
slightly late; red for
excessive lateness).

▪
Alternatives analysis for
upgrades to the LACMTA’s
existing Metro Red Line
and Purple Line to support
desired operations and
maximize/increase

Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) Outer F
Washington, D.C.
▪
▪
As part of the WMATA Outer-F
Contract, SYSTRA provided the
RAILSIM® Simulation Software
Suite to WMATA in 1999,
including software licensing,
training, user support and
database development for the 7
route-miles of the Outer-F Line
(Anacostia to Branch Avenue
Stations).
After WMATA reviewed the
power of the RAILSIM software
for operations analysis,
SYSTRA was awarded follow-on
work for an additional 97 routemiles, thereby creating a single
database for the entire “full
build” 104 route-mile network.

RAILSIM License Upgrade, Expansion and Software Enhancements
Washington, D.C.
▪
Metro currently is
upgrading its RAILSIM site
license and expanding it to
include custom software
enhancements, plus
RAILSIM Load Flow
Analyzer
▪
SYSTRA Rail operations
analysts are performing a
full calibration of the
upgraded model, using
field observations to
determine what
adjustments must be
made in the database to
achieve a baseline
simulation that accurately
depicts ‘a day in the life’ of
Metro’s rail operations

SFMTA/MUNI Rail Core Capacity and Reliability Study
San Francisco, California
▪
▪
SYSTRA is providing capacity
analyses of the core area of
San Francisco MTA’s (SFMTA)
rail network, and also analyzing
the system’s capability of
recovering from various
unplanned incidents, including
testing a series of remedial
measures to address identified
issues.
As part of this project, SYSTRA
is also developing a RAILSIM
simulation model of SFMTA’s
entire rail network, and will
deliver the software, database,
and training to SFMTA. Finally,
SYSTRA remains on-call to
SFMTA to perform additional
analyses using the RAILSIM
model and software.
