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...

Simulating the Impact of Increased Truck Traffic through a Tunnel Crossing Mobile River

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...

Ship Disaster and its Impacts on the Transportation Chain through Simulation

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...
