The Ayacucho Tram in Medellín was the first tram service to operate on the Medellín Metro system in Colombia, beginning its service in 2016.
Our team were asked to make an integration between the operational plan and the interaction with other transport modes to identify the most efficient transport service.
Using existing data about the tram system and surrounding areas, we developed the modelling scenarios with dynamic simulation software, PTV VISSIM, beginning with the evaluation of the present situation and then identifying future scenarios with alternatives to optimization of the Ayacucho's tram. We also used PTV Viswalk to develop a detailed pedestrian modelling of each of the nine stations.
As a result of our analysis, we provided the client with:
Yes, you are in the right place. After 40 years, we have changed our name from Steer Davies Gleave to mark our growing international footprint and our expanding portfolio into sectors beyond transport.
