Abstract The Detailed Station Model (DSM) is a discrete event model representing the interrelated queueing processes associated with vehicle and passenger activities in an AGT station. The DSM will provide operational and performance measures of alternative station configurations and management policies with respect to vehicle and passenger handling capabilities and will provide an analytic tool to support trade studies. Its architecture will facilitate interchange of alternative operational strategy algorithms and station traffic flow patterns to assist in the intitial design selection by planners
