This blog post covers the top features from AnyLogic releases 8.9.2 and 8.9.3. Highlights include the robotic arm in the Material Handling Library, improved road traffic simulations with parking lot improvements, and integration with NVIDIA Omniverse for impressive 3D visuals. Read the article to uncover valuable insights.
Urban design projects presented as physical models usually look nice and detailed, but when implemented they may reveal unexpected problems. Even if such models match the actual layouts, some dynamic factors that may affect the design get left out. Using simulation, you can consider the dynamics, which gives you a more complete picture of the system's performance over time.
Get inside the model! In this post, we will look at the technical features of the example Border Checkpoint model: what it consists of, how it works, and what methods were used in its development.
Learn tips and tricks as you go through the model step by step with our expert...
New releases of AnyLogic come with new example models. These help newcomers understand simulations and experienced users to learn about AnyLogic’s advanced capabilities.
New to AnyLogic is our Border Checkpoint model. It is based on the same principles as classical queueing systems, such as those found in banks, shops, and medical centers.
In this post, we show how to model and analyze a variety of these business problems using the new border crossing model.
Connected vehicle technology is transforming how we manage traffic at intersections, improving efficiency and safety. A groundbreaking study by the University of Tennessee analyzed real-world data from Detroit, using advanced simulations to optimize traffic signal control. Results showed reduced delays and shorter queues, proving the potential of this innovative technology. Dive into the full case study to explore how connected vehicles are shaping the future of urban mobility.
Building on AnyLogic’s educational resources, I am happy to share the “Creating Cars of Different Colors” video, just one in a long-line of how-to videos geared toward simplifying AnyLogic’s vast number of features and functions. In this video, you will learn how to create cars of different colors in the road traffic library, using an example model available in your AnyLogic software.

When planning new transfer hubs, developers need to verify the stations would provide expected passenger capacity, while city authorities have to learn how building a station would affect traffic in the area and public transfer load. Simulation modeling is a perfect instrument for solving such challenges. We covered, in a past blog, one of the models built for the Moscow Ring Railway project, passenger flow simulation at Cherkizovo transfer hub, where a station layout was tested at peak passenger loads. The project we are going to discuss today is another model of Moscow public transport system. We will talk about automobile traffic flow research at the transport hub of Volokolamskaya, done by ITS Consulting.
In public transport, bus bunching refers to a group of two or more transit vehicles (such as buses or trains), which were scheduled to be evenly spaced running along the same route, instead running in the same location at the same time, according to Wikipedia. Dave Sprogis, Volunteer Software Developer, and Data Analyst in Watertown, MA noticed a constant complaint from residents about bus service provided by the MBTA. On a route that advertises a bus “every 10 minutes or less” during rush hour, waits were frequently more than 30 minutes, sometimes an hour! As you probably assume, buses do not start out bunched — they start out evenly spaced according to the schedule that deploys them. However, as the buses run the route, some run a little faster while others run a little slower. There is variability in traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, numbers of passengers loading and unloading, or even differences in driver pace.
AnyLogic 7.3 Beta is released and available for beta testing! The main new feature added is the Road Traffic Library. The Road Traffic Library allows you to simulate vehicle traffic on roads. The library supports detailed physical level modeling of vehicle movement. Each vehicle represents an agent that can have its behavioral patterns inside. The library allows the users to simulate:
