LACMTA Westside Extension Transit Corridor DEIS/R and ACELos Angeles, CA
▪ Alternatives analysis for upgrades to the LACMTA’s existing Metro Red Line and Purple Line to support desired operations and maximize/increase capacity.
▪ In conjunction with this project, LACMTA is obtaining its first RAILSIM license, along with a week-long training program for their personnel.

Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) Outer FWashington, 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 route-miles, thereby creating a single database for the entire “full build” 104 route-mile network.
Metro System in RAILSIM 6.5

Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro)RAILSIM License Upgrade, Expansion and Software EnhancementsWashington, 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 StudySan 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.
