This research is relevant to the engineering design departments and contractors for the preliminary design stage of the engineering project when the infrastructures layout and capacities are chosen, and rough estimates of costs and revenues are calculated.
The platform is composed of two basic elements: a terminal simulation model implemented in Witness® (a commercial simulator) and an interface, implemented in MS Excel®, which enables the user to define the terminal in terms of resources, infrastructures, layout and demand patterns for trains and trucks.
Urban planners often aspire to develop fully networked and centralised water supply systems, but this might not be the right approach for every city – big or small – as infrastructure layout is influenced by geographical, political and social boundaries.
We then show an exemplary infrastructure layout consisting of transmission and distribution networks.
Model results have implications for actual high-speed transport technology development and infrastructure layout.
In Table 1 and Table 2, basic traffic feature data and infrastructure layout parameters are reported for the Reference scenario.
The GIS application is present in all these phases, in fact: (i) It manages the input of the spatial data (ii) It transfers data to tables, plots and maps on the urban (over- and under-ground) space the outputs of the runs ("smart" indicators, energy and emission maps, infrastructure layout) induced by the policies and actions assumed or suggested by the model itself. .

The general infrastructure layout of a generic site for the NBTF includes the test facility itself equipped with a dedicated beamline vessel [P.L. Zaccaria, et al., Maintenance schemes for the ITER neutral beam test facility, this conference] and integration studies of associated auxiliaries such as cooling plant, cryoplant and forepumping system.
The contribution of the proposed model to the area of oilfield development planning is related to the model's simultaneously incorporating technological details regarding the infrastructure layout, pressures and flows in the gathering system, and artificial lift performance, all of which ultimately aims to provide realistic production scheduling results and cost evaluation.
The model has provided a tool for urban planners to improve landscape patterns and infrastructure layouts within urban ecosystem to build sustainable cities.
