Abstract:

Intermodal Marine Container Terminals are experiencing growth in container 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 relieve the effects of ; congestion and improve air quality. This research presents the development of a traffic simulation model capable of ; measuring the impact of various gate strategies on congestion at terminal gates. The proposed model is used to quantify ; both travel time and delay, and emission levels at terminal gates before and after gate strategies have been implemented. ; To our knowledge this is the first attempt, in the published literature, to capture delays and emissions at the gates of ; terminals using a traffic simulation model.
