Modeling Dynamic Behavior of Navigable Inland Waterways
项目名称: Modeling Dynamic Behavior of Navigable Inland Waterways
摘要: The inland waterway freight system is a tremendous and underutilized asset within the United States (U.S.) transportation system, providing an economical and environmentally sound mode for moving cargo. However, the system is challenged with aging infrastructure and limited operations and maintenance budgets which can cause transportation delays and economic losses. The research team proposes to utilize their previously developed Maritime Transportation Simulator (MarTranS), which integrates agent-based modeling, discrete-event simulation, and system dynamics, to further explore the relationship between inland waterway transportation system components and regional economic impact factors. The team will also develop statistical models and decision support tools to provide expanded information about the system and its current and future behavior. This research is needed to provide new data analytics and knowledge that can guide future investment, operations, and maintenance decisions.
