The use of a template-based methodology in the simulation of a new cargo track from Rotterdam harbor to Germany

Abstract: The ProblemWith large and complex simulation studies one of the most crucial success factors is the way you model reality, followed by choosing the right level of abstraction. Designing a modeling approach in these studies is therefore as important as building the actual model itself.The following paper describes a methodology, using template technology, which already has been successfully employed in large and complex simulation studies. This paper uses a rail capacity study as a vehicle to present the method… Show more

“…DSSEs leverage the power of DSM languages to provide the model engineers with the building blocks necessary to develop systems rapidly and correctly (Gray et al, 2007). The advantages of using a DSSE, which is summarized by Valentin and Verbraeck (2005), includes better understanding of the simulation model by problem owner, because the concepts of the domain can be recognized in the simulation model (Pater and Teunisse, 1997;Kasputis and Ng, 2000); easier generation of new simulation experiments (Pater and Teunisse, 1997;Altiok et al, 2001); easier validation of the model, because a lot of functions have been pre-defined and validated; less instances of model constructs, because common concepts of the domain have been represented, and these concepts do not need to be coded again (Kasputis and Ng, 2000;Altiok et al, 2001). …”

“…The work from Lewellen and Tumay (1998) focus on the operations happening in stations, like refueling, crew change or inspection, but the rail infrastructure is not detailed. In the study presented by Pater and Teunisse (1997), the lines are represented as "pipes", and the crossing points or obstacles represented as "nodes". However, the security system that should prevent situations "a" and "b" is modeled with a high abstraction level.…”
