Security Inspection Protocols: Impact on Container Terminal Throughput Using Simulation

This paper presents a simulation model to determine the impact of various container inspection protocols on the operation of a seaport container terminal. The inspection protocols are A) no inspection, B) container sampling with unloading and inspection coupled and C)...

Impact Analysis on Throughput on Air Fleet Resources Using Simulation

This paper presents a modeling approach to determine the impact on throughput on air fleet resources on the operation of airports. The primary constraints for this analysis are i) adherence to schedules, ii) optimization of resource utilization and iii) reduction of...

Conceptual Framework for Discrete Event Simulation of Interstate Traffic

This paper presents the development of a conceptual framework for simulating interstate traffic. ProcessModel was selected as the simulation package. The framework has been successfully used to model interstate I-65 from Montgomery to Birmingham, AL. The study...

Simulation of an Intermodal Container Center Served by Air, Rail and Truck

This paper presents a simulation model to evaluate the operations of the container facility at the International Intermodal Center in Huntsville, AL. The simulation was used to determine if throughput can satisfy anticipated demand and if sufficient resources are...

Resources to Minimize Disruption Caused by Increased Security Inspection of Containers at an Intermodal Terminal: Application on Simulation

This paper presents the application of simulation to determine the inspection resources needed to minimize disruption resulting from increased security inspection of containers at an intermodal terminal. The initial simulation run intentionally started with a large...

Terrorist Attack at Kohlbrand Bridge and its Impact on the Hamburg Transportation Chain

This paper presents a scenario analysis to determine the impact of a terrorist attack at Köhlbrand bridge across the river Elbe on the transportation chains on metropolitan Hamburg. It is of special interest to decide how to redirect trucks for the time of impossible...
