Multi-agent simulation for analysing inland container terminal networks
Authors: Edith Schindlbacher, Manfred Gronalt, Hans Häuslmayer
Abstract
Using a multi-agent system, representing the nodes in the network of the Austrian inland container terminals, and using system dynamics to depict the terminals? internal structures and processes in an aggregate manner, we perform network flow analyses of intermodal load units in case of unforeseen disturbances. Comprehensive case studies of disturbances and irregularities in the flow of goods in Austrian container transport chains and transport systems are the basis of the definition of several risk scenarios, and are used in order to investigate the robustness of the network.
