18 Dez COVID-19 Vaccination Center

In a global effort to overcome the COVID crisis, many authorities around the world are currently setting up vaccination centers. ARC has therefore developed a CAST simulation model to represent all processes of such a vaccination center in a realistic 3D environment. By analyzing various scenarios and stress tests, the planned configuration of the vaccination center can be verified and optimized to avoid potential bottlenecks.

09 Dez Research Project: Integrated Multimodal Airport Operations

The goal of the EU funded IMHOTEP project is to develop a concept of operations and a set of data analysis methods and tools that allow information sharing, common situational awareness and real-time collaborative decision-making between airports and ground transport stakeholders. CAST will be used to create a set of case studies at Palma de Mallorca and London City airports to test these newly developed methods and tools.

08 Dez CAST 8 Release

We are pleased to announce the new CAST 8 release. With the included new features and improvements, CAST 8 will make your modelling workflow more efficient and allow you even more professional results. Download the latest release now and have a look at its highlights!

05 Nov CAST Simulation of COVID Testing on Departure

COVID-19 Testing prior to flight departures receives more and more attention. Recently, there have been several initiatives from airports and airlines to conduct COVID testing prior to flight departures. The process of testing at the point of departure is still difficult to manage on a larger scale due to the time and cost associated with evaluating reliable tests.

18 Aug COVID-19 Impact on Airport Operations and Capacity Webinar

In this webinar we presented the results of a study, that was conducted by ARC on behalf of EUROCONTROL and involved major European airports like Paris Charles-de-Gaulle, London Heathrow, Stuttgart and Stockholm Arlanda Airports as well as ACI EUROPE and IATA in the provision of airport and airline perspective.

24 Jun Webinar: Covid-19 Impact Analysis on Terminal Capacity

Covid-19 has an enormous impact on the aviation industry and its effects will be evident for a longer time. At ARC, we are constantly thinking about how we can support our customers, especially in times like these. Currently we are working on topics around the impact of potential Covid-19 measures on airport capacity. With CAST simulation we can analyze the possible impact along the process chains to give insight and quantify effects...

14 Mai Video: Airport Terminal Simulation – Pre and Post Covid-19 Outbreak 

This video shows the impact of potential Covid-19 measures on airport check-in using CAST Simulation and Allocation Software. Different recommendations regarding social distance exist - this scenario assumes 2m distance in passenger queues.

01 Apr Update and Alternative Options for CAST Trainings

Due to the current situation caused by Covid-19, many of us are affected by travel restrictions and need to work from home to prevent the virus from spreading. Thus, we will not be able to hold the announced CAST training sessions for April and May 2020 in our headquarters in Aachen. We are contacting our clients, who have booked one of the affected courses, individually to arrange a seat in a later course or to switch to a remote training option.
