This paper presents a modular approach for rapidly developing simulation models that can analyze and evaluate existing port operations, changes and expansions. Simulation is an inexpensive insurance against costly mistakes involving capital expenditures, but many... by Karen | Oct 1, 2009 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Gregory A.

The ability to accurately incorporate freight moving to and from a port into an urban model is difficult in both small and large cities. To address this issue, this paper presents an application in which the Freight Analysis Framework Version 2.2 (FAF2) Port Data was... by Karen | Oct 1, 2009 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Gregory A.

It is commonly accepted in the transportation planning community that local data is the only legitimate data that can be used to forecast travel. Therefore, large, highly aggregated data sets are often discredited and deemed an inappropriate data source without... by Karen | Oct 1, 2009 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.

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)... by Karen | Oct 1, 2009 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.
