Abstract

The port induced freight can cause traffic congestion problems in city ports if road freight transportation is used. The secondary congestion problem arises from the pooling of the trucks at the port gates because of the delays of the port operations. The absence of the truck parking areas inside the port causes additional truck trips between the port and auxiliary truck servicing areas around the port. For reducing the impacts of the associated problems of the port induced truck traffic, truck parking areas can be used as buffer zones between the port and city. The purpose of this study is to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) with using multimethod simulation and cost optimization model for the capacity design of a truck parking area for a city port. The preliminary design of the parking area is used to estimate the development cost and outputs of the simulation model is coupled for the capacity optimization for truck arrival scenarios. The methodology is implemented for a case study of the İzmir city port in Turkey. The results of the study indicated that significantly different parking area capacities are required for different truck dwell times for the time restricted and unrestricted truck arrivals

城市港口货车停车区容量设计的多方法仿真方法

港口诱导货物如果采用公路货物运输，会造成城市港口交通拥堵问题。第二个拥堵问题是由于港口作业的延误而导致卡车在港口门口汇合。由于港口内没有卡车停车区，导致港口和港口周围的辅助卡车服务区之间的卡车行程增加。为了减少港口引起的卡车交通相关问题的影响，卡车停车区可以作为港口和城市之间的缓冲区。本研究的目的是开发一个决策支持系统(DSS)，采用多方法模拟和成本优化模型，为城市港口的卡车停放区容量设计。利用停车面积的初步设计估算开发成本，并结合仿真模型的输出对货车到达场景进行容量优化。该方法用于土耳其İzmir城市港口的案例研究。研究结果表明，对于限时和限时货车，不同停留时间所需的停车面积容量有显著差异
