Abstract

The paper focuses on simulation results for a real supply network, dealing with tomatoes production, which is widespread in Southern Italy. The dynamics of the system is studied via differential equations, that involve either parts on arcs or queues that consider the exceeding goods. Two different numerical schemes are compared to test the approximation degrees, and then used for simulations. Through a procedure of Situation Awareness, a possible choice of the input flow to the supply network is analyzed. The obtained results prove that using Situation Awareness allows, at least for the real system in consideration, good compromises in order to modulate production queues.
