A summary is presented of the design and application of a discrete event simulation model and animation of the proposed Frankford Transportation Center (FTC), an intermodal transportation facility being developed by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. Combining bus, trackless trolley, automobile, train, and pedestrian movements in an integrated model, the simulation provided designers and the client with a tool for evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed design on surface transit operations and traffic flow both in and around the facility. Distinguishing features of the model architecture are discussed in the context of its application to the FTC. Results of the study, and their applicability to intermodal facilities, are presented.
