Container Terminal Modelling in Simul8 Environment

Abstract

This paper gives overview of container terminal processes and related optimization models. Survey of some simulation-based model for intermodal systems is also presented. Upon the drawn conclusions from the surveyed papers, a novel simulation model is described which enables applicability of adaptive and intelligent methods, enables optimization of the certain modules and the whole model as well. The proposed simulation model was implemented in Simul8 logistic simulation software environment.
