How SIMULATOR Enhances Infrastructure Resilience Planning
The SIMULATOR suite empowers cities, transportation authorities, seaports, airports, and installations. It delivers advanced modeling and simulation tools to identify vulnerabilities and transform uncertainty into actionable strategies. By leveraging a digital twin approach, clients can visualize growth trends, urbanization, and infrastructure threats. The platform integrates diverse data sources—from stormwater systems to zoning rules—offering insights that balance economic, social, and environmental priorities. This allows asset owners to make smart, targeted investments in resilience.
Key Features and Real-World Impact of SIMULATOR
AtkinsRéalis’ technology has already driven notable successes for communities:
- Atlanta, GA: Analysis identified that increasing tree cover and air-conditioned bus shelters could cut single-occupancy vehicle use, influencing transportation plans.
- North Carolina Department of Transportation: Modeling for the US-74 corridor revealed that a modest rise in annual investment can prevent up to 80% of traffic disruptions.
- Boulder County, CO: SIMULATOR demonstrated that elevating and hardening three bridges was more effective than 25 other options, securing FEMA reconstruction funding.
These cases highlight the platform’s role in crafting resilient, evidence-based solutions that secure funding and enhance operational continuity.
