This paper presents the development of a simulation model to evaluate the impact of increased 18-wheel truck traffic on the I-10 tunnel crossing the Mobile River in downtown Mobile, Alabama. The increased truck traffic is resulting from overall globalization of... by Karen | Oct 1, 2008 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.

This paper presents a scenario analysis to determine the impact of a ship disaster on river Elbe on the transportation chain of the port of Hamburg. It is of special interest to decide how to dodge ships for the time of the disaster, and to detour trains and trucks... by Karen | Oct 1, 2008 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.

This paper presents a simulation model to determine the impact of various container inspection sampling plans on the operation of a seaport container terminal. Of special interest is the turn around times for ships, trains and trucks. Included in this paper are the... by Karen | Oct 1, 2008 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.

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.
