Optimizing hinterland terminal operation using simulation and neural networks
Authors: Manfred Gronalt, Thouraya Benna, Martin Posset
Abstract
In this paper we investigate a major problem in hinterland terminal optimization. Terminal operation consists of a series of interdependent activities and decision problems. The overall performance in the terminal operation is influenced by operation?s efficiency and differs for different terminal design, workload and policy. We use a methodology that combines simulation and neural networks and that can be used to define, with respect to terminal design and workload, the best operating policy.
