Celestavia Simulation Platform · Global Genius Trust
See tomorrow’s city today.
Integrated simulation of mobility, energy and infrastructure, so decisions rest on evidence.
A single platform reproduces the city’s real traffic —every car, taxi, bus, motorcycle, truck, pedestrian and cyclist— and compares it with the city Celestavia proposes. Results are delivered as figures, maps, reports and video, ready for the city council and the public.

Optionally, the platform also produces a full animation of any station, a megastation or a small station, with passengers, cabins and cargo. Every simulation is built on real satellite imagery and the other data available for the territory. Results are simulated with the data available in each case.
Today and with Celestavia
The platform compares two scenarios with the same streets and the same travel demand: the city today and the city with Celestavia. Every change is measured; nothing is assumed.
What it measures in each scenario
- Door-to-door travel times
- Congestion and queues
- Capacity per hour
- Emissions
- Energy use and generation
- Public space reclaimed
- Response to failures
- Grades and grip in rain or ice
- Cost of each option, as ranges
The transition is also simulated in stages, street by street.
What the platform does
Twenty capabilities integrated in a single tool, to answer the questions of the city council, municipal engineers and citizens with data.
Photorealistic 3D city
The city’s real streets, buildings and terrain. Tours at street level, from inside a cabin or from a drone’s-eye view.
Complete vehicle traffic
Every vehicle individually: cars, taxis, buses, motorcycles and trucks, together with pedestrians and cyclists. Traffic lights, turns, stops and parking.
Calibrated with real data
Imports road networks, traffic counts, bus routes and schedules, signal plans and origin–destination surveys, and measures its fit with the international GEH standard.
The full Celestavia network
Towers, cables, cabins, stations, turns and transfers between lines. Calculates the required fleet, waiting times and hourly capacity.
Demand and modal shift
Projects how many people would use Celestavia, between which stations and at what time, and how many car, taxi and bus trips are no longer made.
Energy end to end
Each cabin’s consumption, regenerative braking, substations and transmission from 13.8 to 500 kV. It compares traction systems (1.5 kV DC, 25 kV and 50 kV AC) and calculates voltage drop, faults and the energy returned when braking.
Emissions and environment
Carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, carbon monoxide and fuel, by vehicle type, in the city today and in the city with Celestavia.
Safety and redundancy
Failures of motors, power, control and communications; wind, rain and earthquakes. Shows how the system responds and how long each cabin takes to reach a station.
Construction phase
Anticipates the effect of the works on each street, including lane closures, so detours can be planned before work begins.
Multi-service towers
Fiber optics, cellular service, 360° cameras, weather and seismic sensors and information displays, with their coverage and capacity.
Side-by-side scenarios
A simple control panel: change one input (fleet, demand, schedule or speed) and compare the results instantly.
Live demonstrations
During a presentation, failures or events can be triggered to show, in real time, how the network reacts.
“Before and after” reports and videos
Reports in Spanish and English for the city council, and videos showing the same street today and with Celestavia.
Protected data
Municipal information is processed in a private environment, kept confidential, with personal data anonymized.
Real terrain and grades
Profiles each route on satellite elevation models, finds the steepest stretches, including the extra slope of the rope between towers, and proposes where to adjust tower heights or the alignment.
Carriages and motors to measure
Sizes one motor per wheel with regenerative braking for each carriage class: city or intercity, passenger or heavy cargo. Checks restarting on a wet or icy rope.
Carriage classes and station swaps
High-power carriages serve only the mountain lines. The passenger stays in the cabin while, at a station, the carriage above is swapped for the one that continues the trip; the platform organises the fleet and measures the wait.
Power supply options
Where the grid falls short or does not exist: our own high-voltage line along the route, generators at selected towers or on board (diesel, propane or gasoline), batteries and solar generation. Compares the cost, emissions and noise of each option.
Safe, swappable batteries
Packs of standard lithium iron phosphate cells, each in a fireproof container with fire suppression. A robotic system can swap them at the station, with different capacities for different trips.
Heavy cargo on steep grades
20 to 60-foot containers on steep climbs: pressure rollers, extra traction ropes only on the steep stretch, helper carriages or a haul rope, with their cost per kilometre.
The questions the platform answers
Every project starts with the same list of questions. What the city already knows goes into the simulation; what is not yet known is presented as options, each with its cost range, and defined in the studies that follow.
Route and terrain
Where does each line run? Which is the steepest kilometre? Are there valleys or crossings that call for another alignment? What clearance do the streets need?
Climate
Is there ice, strong wind or heavy rain? What temperatures must the climate control handle?
Demand
How many trips are there today, at opening and as ridership grows? What longest wait is acceptable? How many trips go to the mountain lines?
Cargo
Only light boxes the size of a cabin, or also heavy 20 to 60-foot containers on their own lines? Waste collection and night-time drop zones?
Stations
Where do the mega station and the small stations go? Where are carriages or batteries swapped?
Power
How much spare power does the grid have near the route? Are there stretches with no grid? Our own high-voltage line, generators, batteries or solar? 1.5 kV DC or 25 or 50 kV AC? See the questions for the electric utility
Carriages and batteries
Which carriage classes does each line need, and how much power per motor? Batteries for backup only, or for operation? Charging in place or robotic swapping?
Permits, land and costs
Easements and land, concession and safety certification? 30-year costs given as ranges per option until the studies define them.
How we work with each city
Four steps, using the information the municipality already has.
Data
The municipality provides the mobility and land-use information we request and answers the base list of questions.
Calibration
The platform reproduces the city’s current traffic and is adjusted to real counts.
Scenarios
The city today, during construction and with Celestavia, with the same streets and the same travel demand.
Results
Figures, maps, a report and a “before and after” video, delivered to the municipality.
What our simulation provides
- For a city, a region or a whole country: the calibrated model of today’s traffic, useful for any mobility project.
- The comparative “before and after” simulation of the corridors studied, with its figures and report.
- Built on real satellite imagery and all the other data available for the territory.
- The whole food chain: from the soil and the water to farming, harvest, preparation for market, food stores and restaurants, cooking in the restaurant kitchen, and back to recycling the leftovers into the fields. It includes growing grain, fruits and emergency foods such as Nature’s Gold Mix, kept with Break-Thru Technology’s proprietary long-term storage and food-preservation system; the goal is food that is beyond organic and highly nutrient-dense. All with the aid of Break-Thru Technology and professional chefs and agronomists.
- Optional: full animation of any station, a megastation or a small station, with passengers, cabins and cargo.
- Presentation videos for the authorities and the public.
- Every open decision (power, carriage classes, batteries, steep-grade equipment) presented as an option, with its cost range and the studies still needed to define it.
- Full confidentiality of the information provided, with personal data anonymized.
