• Description:
  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.
