标题：Design and Simulation of a New Intermodal Automated Container Transport System (ACTS) Considering Different Operation Scenarios of Container Terminals
摘要：In this study, we have designed a new intermodal automated container transport system (ACTS) via a roll-on/roll-off method that connects a logistics hub between a port and inland. Further, we have presented the development of a simulation model and the results of the simulator development. A simulation program was developed using a general-purpose simulation system (GPSS)/H to predict the processing capacity of the ACTS system and derive the optimum input equipment size and operation method. Additionally, the PROOF5 program was used for the visual verification of the system algorithm and for users to intuitively view and monitor events occurring in the terminal. The simulation program developed in this study can be used in the future as a tool to compare and analyze the efficiency of the existing road-transport-based system and the proposed ACTS system when the latter is implemented in a specific region.
