Modeling and Simulation
Optimal software platform combined with developed application layer maximizes organizational objectives.
MYMIC provides corporate and government clients modeling, simulation and visualization solutions to support knowledge management and decision making.
The Virtual Port Training Tool (VPTT™) is training software developed by MYMIC LLC for the Virginia Port Authority (VPA). VPTT™ provides VPA with a web-based method to present training to workers who require access to the ports and terminals owned by VPA. This alternative training method does not require a formal classroom environment which means less manpower and overheard costs for VPA. Because any valid user can access this web-enabled training anywhere there is an internet connection, it is available 24 hours a day. In addition, VPTT™ training incorporates audio, video, and a virtual world representation of VPA ports which makes it more dynamic than traditional classroom style instruction or PowerPoint presentations. VPTT™ provide training in a virtual environment for Safety, Security, Environmental, and HAZMAT to meet regulatory and management standards for on-site personnel (equipment operators, longshoreman, delivery truck drivers, etc.). The virtual world is a model of real-world facilities with greatest fidelity (details) for those port areas needed to support training on critical processes and procedures. Training content is delivered through interaction with learning objects in the virtual world via video, audio and text. Learning objects also support assessment by asking trainees to answer questions related to the training objective(s). Trainees are provided positive reinforcement if they get questions wrong.
Scalable End-to-End Logistics Simulation
The Scalable End-to-End Logistics Simulation (SEELS™) architecture supports modeling end-to-end logistics for use in planning, analysis, and experimentation. SEELS™ is a scalable, nodal, and programmable architecture that allows a user to:
The SEELS™ architecture can be used to model item flow through any terminal or logistical node, either military or commercial. The definition of a node is limited only by the user's requirements; thus a node may be an entire seaport or a single fueling point along a highway. A set of nodes can then be linked via different transportation modes to model a complete, multimodal logistical operation as a logistical network or flow. Further, separate logistical operations can be linked to form an integrated, highly scalable, network-of-networks model.
The SEELS™ architecture applies a single-model solution to the end-to-end logistics problem, as a viable alternative to the complexity of a federated solution.
Once a logistical plan is modeled within SEELS™, users may run extremely high-speed simulations. SEELS™ executes the movement of hundreds of thousands of items in only a few minutes, allowing users to run repeated simulations of logistical plans applying different assumptions or modifications. SEELS™ reports the results of these simulations in user selected criteria, such as throughput, wait times, time to execute, arrival profiles, or costs.
MYMIC LLC has developed the Command Center Training Tool (C²T²) to assist the Virginia Port Authority (VPA) in developing and executing training for their dispatchers at their Port Command Center (PCC). The C²T² platform is a training management tool that allows VPA training managers to execute training events for port dispatchers, providing both initial and recurring/refresher training. C²T² provides leaders and training managers the means to rapidly create highly complex training exercises, execute those exercises with a minimum of training overhead, and conduct a comprehensive After Action Review (AAR). During execution of the training event, C²T² allows trainers to, in real time, monitor the performance of the training audience, adjust the exercise to meet training objectives, and take advantage of training opportunities. The C²T² approach supports real time training on any command center system that would otherwise be constrained by time and resources.
