This paper presents a conceptual framework for the development of seaport simulation models. The framework has been successfully used to model a bulk coal handling terminal, a seaport container terminal and an airport intermodal center. Included in this paper are a... by Karen | Oct 1, 2008 | Authors, Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.

This paper presents an analysis to determine the impact of bottlenecks on multimodal transportation chains. A bottleneck-analysis in general is a process related approach to identify shortages. In relation to transportation it is concerned with analysis of resource... by Karen | May 1, 2008 | Anthony Holden, Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.

The Alabama State Port Authority wants to increase the volume of coal moving through the McDuffie Island Coal Terminal. A perceived barrier to an increase in capcity is the number of tugboats for moving barges throughout the terminal. This paper presents a simulation... by Karen | Jan 1, 2008 | Anthony Holden, Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.
