The CALAS project (Carrier Laser Tracking System) consists in a laser measure system able to localize precisely straddle carriers within a container terminal. The information given by such a tool makes an optimization possible. As members of the LITIS, our participation in this project concerns the conception and the development of a simulation platform able to reproduce both structure and dynamics of a container terminal. The software must be able to simulate dynamic events occurring during a container terminal day of work. Therefore, we proposed D²CTS, a Dynamic and Distributed Container Terminal Simulator. We will discuss in this paper the modelling process and the possibilities of such a simulator.
