Simulation-Based Resource Allocation for Railway Container Terminals

The railway container terminal is an essential pillar of the intermodal transport network. Although many researches using mathematical models have conducted in this field, most of which only focus on the local operation instead of the global system. Based on this, this project proposes the study of simulation and optimization. Taking Wuhan Railway Container Terminal as an example, FlexSim software is used to design a complete container terminal operation scheduling simulation process and to explore the impact of different resource allocations. It provides scientific support for the selection of operation mode and resource allocation of railway container terminals.
