Simulation has been an integral part of research and development work in container terminal operations. The sheer size of the facilities and the complexity of equipment used make it difficult to predict analytically how the terminal will operate under specific layouts and configurations. Control techniques which relate to the dynamic behaviour of the equipment are even more difficult to analyse…
THis paper is mainly concerner with the digital manufacturing
The determination of the coach terminal as passenger logistics hub is described. The factors responsible for successful functioning of this hub are discussed. The location of the coach terminal is one of the important factors. The present coach terminal is located in the heart of the city where land availability is critical. The simulation model of the terminal was developed to complement the d…
Railway service terminals (nodes) are the places of a railway network equipped with costly technology based on high complexity technological procedures demanding a high degree of coordination and control skills. Great effort is therefore exerted to find an optimal configuration of infrastructure to extensively exploit technical and human resources and to effectively organize technological proce…
This paper proposes a simulation model for container terminal system analysis. We assume that the container terminal consists of gate, container yard, and berth. The facilities used in the container terminal are transfer cranes, gantry cranes, trailers, and yard tractors. The simulation model is developed using an object-oriented approach, and using SIMPLE##, object-oriented simulation softw…
This paper presents a systems based approach for the city logistics decision making. Using this approach, we present the layout of a simulation model called CILOSIM (CITY‐LOGISTICS‐SIMULATION). CILOSIM encapsulates three sub‐models namely Goods to Vehicle Assignment model, Goods movement model and Impact assessment model. The Goods to vehicle assignment model allocates commodities to vehi…
Within the development of seaport transportation system, note that the ability of a port plays an important role as a part of integrated global supply chain. As an indivisible share of a port, container terminal has a potential strategic value in the global liner shipping networks as well as a major aspect of the competitiveness of the The main objective …
