Design & simulation of an integrated automated maglev system to overcome transportation challenges between inland and seaport terminals

Port systems face numerous challenges, including limited storage capacity at terminal yards, congestion in road port access due to overwhelmed infrastructure, and inefficient inter-terminal transportation. Close dry ports, situated between 10-40 km from the port, offer a potential solution, but lack flexible and reliable transport connections...

State-of-the-art of port simulation models for risk and capacity assessment based on the vessel navigational behaviour through the nautical infrastructure

Ports play an increasingly important role in the freight transportation chain due to containerization. High vessel flows and higher densities increase the relevance of the non-terminal related processes. Several simulation models have been developed in the recent decades with different goals, but their abilities to represent realistic vessel...

A computer simulation modelling study for port planning of main public terminal, port of Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia

The main problem which will be solved in this study is that concerning the Main Public Terminal (MPT) capacity : berthing, cargo handling and cargo storage capacity within the time span of development plan, up to 2005. The objective of the development plan is then defined, i.e. to provide MPT the least-cost of port operation consisting of port...
