Abstract:

Intermodal marine container terminals are experiencing growth in volumes and are under pressure to develop strategies to accommodate increasing demand. One of the major factors contributing to the problem is inefficient gate operations that can cause serious safety, congestion, and environmental problems. There is a plethora of ongoing discussions concerning the implementation of different operational strategies that may reduce the effect of these externalities. This research presents the development of a traffic simulation model capable of measuring the impact of various gate strategies on congestion at terminal gates and on the environment.
