Abstract: |
This study aims
to develop a functional simulation model for the maritime transit traffic in
the Istanbul Channel and to perform scenario analysis to investigate the effects of type and frequency of transit demand, as well as various
natural factors, resources and decision / policy rules, on the system. In
this regard, the Channel traffic rules and regulations, transit vessel
profiles, pilotage and tugboat services, meteorological and geographical
conditions are considered in the model to provide a platform to analyze the
effectiveness of various policies and decisions related to the transit traffic
in the Istanbul Channel. The statistics tracked and collected in the analysis
are the number and types of vessels passed, transit times of vessels, vessel
densities throughout the Channel, waiting times of vessels, pilot and tugboat
utilizations. In the first phase of the study, scenario analyses have been
designed to investigate the effects of the factors of vessel profiles, vessel
arrival rates, vessel priorities, pilot and tugboat availabilities and
visibility conditions. In the second phase, the analyses are extended by
integrating probabilistic current and visibility submodels,
comprehensive overtaking rules, parameterization of pursuit distances and other
administrative controls (regarding vessels in transit in the Channel). A
scenario analysis is being run to reveal the effects of these factors and
preliminary results are reported. |
