15. LACMTA Westside Extension Transit Corridor DEIS/R and ACE Los 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.

16. 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 route-miles, thereby creating a single database for the entire “full build” 104 route-mile network.

17. Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) 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
Metro System converted to RAILSIM 8.1

18. 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.
