CONTAINER SECURITY INSPECTION: SIMULATION TO EVALUATE VARIOUS CONTAINER SAMPLING PLANS ON PORT OPERATIONS

摘要

This paper presents a simulation model to determine the impact of various container inspection sampling plans on the operation of a seaport container terminal. Of special interest is the turn around times for ships, trains and trucks. Included in this paper are the development of the simulation model, the experiment to evaluate the impact of increased security on port operations, an analysis of the simulation results and conclusions.
