Villon is the primary tool we use for our consultancy services - using Villon, users (our employees who are professionals in the field of transport and logistics) can create detailed simulation models of terminal operations, define simulation scenarios, conduct simulation experiments with the model and evaluate results of simulation runs in one integrated user-friendly environment. Villon aids tactical (medium-term) and strategic (long-term) planning related usually to infrastructural or operational proposals, aimed at ensuring efficient and effective operation of the modelled system.
Villon’s flexibility, detailed microscopic modelling of a wide range of transport and logistics systems, flowchart-driven definition of operational procedures, user interaction, configurable decision strategies, 2D/3D animation, and extensive result evaluation capabilities make it a unique simulation tool.

Licensing Villon
We offer licences for our Villon simulation software to consultancies, engineering bureaus, universities and anyone else.
The licence currently includes the following software modules:
- Railway transport
- Sorting/marshalling operation
- Simple freight handling (storage)
Additional Villon modules (such as road transport, advanced transloading with manipulators, pedestrian movement) are currently not available for licensing to third parties and are used solely by our own consultancy services.
Please contact us for further licencing details or if you are interested in a product demonstration or trial version of Villon.
Rich modelling capabilities
Villon's modelling abilities cover a broad range of stations, yards and transportation logistics terminals not limited to rail transport, but also including road and other transport modes (e.g. cranes, special storage equipment, etc.).
- Marshalling yards
- Passenger stations
- Industrial sidings
- Small railway networks (regional)
- Production facilities
- Container terminals
- Harbour terminals
- Road traffic (in limited area)
- Airports (ground handling)
- Storages
- and many others...
Although Villon's primary modelling target are stations/terminals and their internal operations, the software also supports, to some extent, the modelling of small regional networks (e.g. railway traffic in a region or road traffic in a limited area of a city).
Free Viewer version
An important feature of Villon is the possibility to provide customers with a dedicated Villon Viewer version. This Viewer version allows the customer (e.g. the owner of the examined system) to execute simulation runs prepared by the model designers (usually our employees) and to use the full range of run-time and post-run evaluation options offered by Villon. Customers can use Villon in much the same way we do, but no modification of model data is allowed in Villon Viewer.
