Simulation of The Vessel Traffic Schedule In The Strait Of Istanbul
Authors: Sirin Özlem, lhan Or, Birnur
Abstract
In this study, a simulation model is developed via the Arena 11.0 software to mimic the actual Istanbul Strait vessel flow under the established traffic regulations and meteorological conditions. The established practice of uni-directional daytime and two-directional nighttime traffic schedules are reflected and pilot and tugboats services scheduled in the traffic flow direction, visibility, current and storm information are also integrated into the model. The effects of factors such as pursuit distance, vessel profile, pilot availability, arrival rate and visibility over selected performance measures are investigated through scenario analysis and the most important factors are determined as arrival rate of vessels and visibility.
