COVID-19 Vaccination Center
Simulation and Functional Assessment, Scenario Comparison

In a global effort to overcome the COVID crisis, authorities worldwide are currently setting up vaccination centers. Due to these centers' complexity, new procedures, and interconnected processes, there are numerous challenges to ensure smooth, safe, and efficient operations.
Airport Research Center (ARC), a Germany-based company, applies its CAST simulation technology to provide a realistic representation of such a vaccination center's typical processes in a 3D environment.


The model simulates critical process steps according to the facility's actual characteristics, including throughput rates, processing times, staffing levels, and interdependencies between processes. In the simulation model, passengers enter the facility according to their assigned appointments and a set of attributes define individual passenger behavior within the simulated facility. Simulation analysts adapt the model to local conditions by setting predefined parameters in the model.


The video also demonstrates the impact of insufficient capacity of one or more processes in the process chain and suppors the comparison of different scenarios in order to find the right ballance in terms of facility requirements and staffing.


By analyzing various scenarios and stress tests, simulation analysts determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a vaccination center's planned configuration according to a set of metrics and requirements. For example, the CAST simulation model may be used as a test-bed to identify and mitigate potential bottlenecks due to layout configuration, identify and test improved layouts, optimize facility staffing levels, or improve operational procedures.

The video shows the simulation of a generic vaccination center. However, it does not provide a general or specific statement about vaccination centers' function, effectiveness, or efficiency.
