Simulation modeling as a means of forecasting passenger traffic at the Moscow Central Ring station

Abstract

The article presents the results of creating a digital twin of the Moscow Central Ring station “Izmailovo” using simulation modeling methods. The study’s main goal is to create a formal model demonstrating, at given time intervals, the changes in the objects and processes that make up the model when certain input parameters are changed. The results obtained during the simulation of the system behavior allow for evaluating the effectiveness of the concepts for the modernization of the transport system facility in terms of passenger traffic. The conducted structural analysis of the research object allowed to establish all elements and their corresponding characteristics to create models of the behavior of key objects. Additionally, a 3D graphical model has been developed to demonstrate the behavior of all objects and their corresponding processes.
