Case Study: STAM improves metro station safety and evacuation planning with AnyLogic

Metro Station Vulnerability Analysis with Crowd Simulation

STAM, an Italian multidisciplinary engineering company, needed to assess metro station vulnerability and evacuation behavior in response to terrorist threats as part of an EU public safety project. Using AnyLogic simulation software, STAM modeled crowd movement and emergency response in an open-air metro station across bomb, melee, and drone attack scenarios to identify critical infrastructure weaknesses.

AnyLogic enabled STAM to build 2D and 3D agent-based models with statecharts and flowcharts, test different attack conditions, and analyze pedestrian reactions, casualty levels, and evacuation patterns. The results highlighted high-risk density areas, showed that evacuation time stayed roughly the same due to fixed station infrastructure, and revealed that drone attacks caused the most casualties and injuries.
