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 | Sep 1, 2008 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Gregory A. Harris, P.E., Dr. Michael D.

Simulating freight activity in a statewide model requires the development of an origin/destination matrix containing internal-internal trips, internal-external and external-internal trips, and external-external trips. The external-external trips are often difficult... by Karen | Jan 1, 2008 | Anthony Holden, Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.

The use of simulation in evaluating the impact of productivity improvement activities at the McDuffie Coal Terminal located at the Alabama State Docks in Mobile, Alabama, is discussed. Simulations are being employed for port and terminal operations at an increasing... by Karen | Dec 1, 2007 | Center & Office Research, Dr. Bernard Schroer, Dr. Gregory A.
