Introduction: Computer simulation is one of the methods frequently used in science, engineering and industry for studying complex systems. By means of computer simulation it is possible to analyse systems based on "what if" scenarios, but also to retrieve from simulation models extensive statistic results with which a superior understanding of the system is made possible. This simulation package uses the Dynamic Stochastic Simulation Environment (simbase.exe) owned by Feliz-Teixeira, and the next-event technology of simulation. MetroModSim is, therefore, a small part of the collection of academic simulation products developed with this environment, as it was also the case of scModSim, a package previously developed dedicated to supply chain modelling and simulation, among others. Academic software: This package is academic software. Academic software means that the software may not be considered a commercial product in terms of code stability, mainly at the level of the user interface. Instead, it is software developed to be used in scientific research or as a private consultancy simulation tool, therefore focused on the performance, innovation and precision, instead of on the user interface. Overview: With this application you will be able to model and simulate a large number of metro models. MetroModSim includes the simulation engine of MetroSim. You may develop your models for academic or even industrial purposes, and take advantage from the potential of analysis included in this tool. It is recommended that you do not distribute this software to your clients, since it is not prepared to be seen as a commercial package. This package is, nevertheless, equipped with all the tools needed for studying and analysing any metro network models previously created with MetroModSim, including vehicle injection, timetable management and inspection, frequency, capacities, transit charts, etc., as well as several other important informations, most of it represented in the form of charts. The next section 'modelling and simulating' will give you a more detailed view on how to use this application.
Modelling and simulating: Modelling and simulating is extremely simple, as long as certain basic concepts used in this application are understood. In this section you will find most of the information needed to achieve this goal. Soon you will be able to model, simulate and obtain results with your metroline model.
