Hello,
Im trying to model an intermodal terminal (a place where for example
containers are changed from one transportation mode to another) in order to
see if we can make it work more efficiently. My first tought was that I had
to model it with discrete event techniques. Im asking me know (as I am
more familiar with SD than discrete event simulation) if it would not be
possible to model it with SD and if there are already SD-models in this
transportation-field ?
Thank you very much in advance,
Many regards,

SD for Intermodal terminals ?
efficiency or other global parameters of a process are to our experience
much easier modelled and simulated with stocks, flows and explicit controls
than by discrete-event. you get a direct behavior output instead of
statistics evaluation. one does the work in control-system space
(continuous) rather than in local event-coupled space. one does have more
easely access to processparameters in general.
exemples on request direct e-mail.
