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) are able to create detailed simulation models of terminal operation, define simulation scenarios, make experiments with the model and evaluate results of simulation runs in one integrated user-friendly environment. Villon aids tactical (middle-term) and strategic (long-term) planning related usually to infrastructural or operational proposals, which are supposed to guarantee optimal (or at least effective) behaviour of modelled terminal.

Villon’s features like its flexibility, detailed microscopic modelling of the operation of various types of terminals, flowchart driven definition of operational procedures, user interaction, selection of decision strategies, 2D/3D animation output, extensive result evaluation capabilities, underline its uniqueness throughout the world.

Using Villon to your benefit

We offer licences for our Villon simulation software to consultancies, engineering bureaus, universities and anyone else. 
The licence currently includes following modules of the software:

  • Railway transport
  • Sorting/marshalling operation
  • Simple freight handling (storage)

Additional Villon modules (such as road transport, advanced transloading with manipulators, pedestrian movement) are not yet offered 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 demonstration or trial version of Villon.

Rich modelling capabilities

Villon's modelling abilities cover broad range of stations, yards and transportation logistics terminals not limited to rail transport mode only, but comprising also 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 deploy a special Villon Viewer version of the simulation tool executable to the customer. 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. The customer has the possibility to use Villon in the same way as we do, but no modification of model data is allowed in Villon Viewer.
