Similar to airport terminals, train station buildings are used by thousands of passengers per day. This leads to similar challenges for planning and operating regional or long-distance train stations in order to fulfill all requirements in terms of passenger safety and comfort as well as an efficient use of resources.

• For train departures while waiting for the train
• For train arrivals while leaving platform via stairs/escalators with limited throughput capacity
• Impact of schedule change, delay, different train types

Flow Analysis

• Filling and clearing of train and platform via stairs, escalators etc.
• Impact of disruption, e.g. last minute platform change
• Demand, queues and waiting times at ticket vending machines or validators

Connection Process

• Connection time / distance analysis
• Impact of changed track allocation

• Traffic generation based on (forecast) flight schedule
• Holistic view on situation
• Understanding interdependencies, e.g. check-in peak after train arrival or higher train loads after flight arrival

Technical Approach

• Combination of airport and train station in same model
• Sharing the same input parameters
• More efficient workflow (no setup / learning of other model)
