In my visit to Madrid last month it was my good fortune to meet Dr. Alicia García-Hernández from the Universidad Carlos III De Madrid.
Her accomplished WITNESS modelling is plain to see from her published work and she was kind enough to share her most recent WITNESS model in her specialist area of Railroad infrastructure – this time a model of a Railroad Container Terminal.
The model has been constructed generically to allow specification of a wide range of different railroad container terminal layouts and provide results to support strategic and tactical decisions related to the redesign of existing terminals and the planning of new terminals.
An Excel interface allows easy configuration – essential for wide use and deployment of any model. It includes definition of:
A WITNESS model display of a typical railroad terminal – in this example there are four tracks. Note the colour configuration of containers on the trains to illustrate size and weight.
Model features include:
Model results include Productivity, Service levels and Resource utilizations.
Work to date supports a wide variety of terminal configurations in Europe and Australia and is also applicable to many North American terminals which typically have more flexibility in moving containers and containing ground storage.
The flexibility in the model is to be applauded. It is always more difficult to make models generic than to model one specific facility. But the efforts here have already enabled wide use and valuable decisions to be made. Great to see good, useful WITNESS simulation to support strategic and tactical decision making.
If you are interested in discovering more about this project the please feel free to contact Dr. García-Hernández at agarhernan@gmail.com
