Abstract: |
This study aims to significantly
augment and extend an earlier simulation model on the maritime transit
traffic in the Istanbul Strait. The new model reflects the new traffic
regime, which is in effect since the middle of 2005. This model also
incorporates the probabilistic behavior of vessel arrivals and other
characteristics, current & visibility conditions, based on extensive past
data. Model inputs are parameters associated with the Traffic Control Center
decisions, as well as randomized vessel arrival rates / profiles and
current/visibility conditions. The model outputs, such as, numbers and
waiting times of vessel types in queues, vessel densities and pilot/tugboat
utilizations, are designed to facilitate a better understanding of the
effects of inputs (individually or in an aggregate manner) through
comparisons of a series of scenarios. An additional accomplishment will be
the comparison of the new traffic regime with the earlier one, based on the
collation of model outputs with those of the previous model (which reflects
the earlier regime). |
