Solving a Container Terminal Location Problem Using Decision Support Systems

摘要

University of ?ilina and University of Belgrade renewed their cooperation in the field of railway traffic and engineering in 2011. The bilateral research project EFRAIL that started in 2017 was focused on increasing effectiveness of the railway transport services using decision-support systems.At the same time, researchers of the University of ?ilina started the participation on SKILLFUL project. SKILLFUL is financed under H2020. The main project vision is to identify the skills in training and education of future transport professionals.In this paper, we present a summary of the survey focused on available simulation tools and partially on the application of mathematical models of operations research realized in frame of the EFRAIL project. We present how the decision support systems can be used for solving a container terminal location problem in the case of container terminal in Vr?ac town in Serbia. Firstly, on the frame of the EFRAIL project, we used a so called "compromise programming method". Secondly, we used similar problem to develop one of lessons for railway experts’ training in GIS, as our participation in the SKILLFUL project. In this lesson, main topics are spatial analysis, multi-criterial analysis based on raster layers.
