摘要：	In this report we study the appointment window system to manage the flow of trucks in traffic networks and at customers' locations. The system introduces the scheduling of transactions into and out of container terminals and requires that freight carriers deliver/pick-up their cargo within a specific time period. We propose a structure and develop an algorithm to generate cooperative time windows. The cooperative time window appointment system is modeled mathematically, and an optimization technique based on insertion method is proposed. Simulation experiments are used to evaluate the efficiency of the algorithm. In this project we also developed a software package for simulating terminal operations. The Terminal Simulator is used to study the effects of the time window appointment system on various terminal operations. Based on data collected on truck arrivals, several simulation scenarios are created, which compare the current practices to the case when the time window appointment system is applied. It is seen that when the appointment system is used, the queues at the inbound and outbound gates become smaller, and the import and export yards are serviced more efficiently.
