A New Method for Estimating Truck Queue Length at Marine Terminal Gates

项目名称：	A New Method for Estimating Truck Queue Length at Marine Terminal Gates
摘要：	As international trade and freight volumes increase, there is a growing port congestion problem, leading to the long truck waiting lines at US marine terminal gates, which sometimes causes traffic problems in the adjacent roadway network. To solve this problem, an accurate model for estimating the truck queue length and waiting time is needed. However, the existing methods, such as fluid flow model, stationary queuing models, non-stationary queuing models, simulation models and regression models, all have their limitations and cannot provide accurate queue length estimation under certain conditions. The proposed project is to develop a new method for estimating terminal gate truck queue length that can fill the gaps in the existing methods. To evaluate the accuracy of the developed method, simulation-based numerical experiments will be conducted to compare the estimated queue lengths of different methods under various customer demand and service rate conditions. The developed method can be used for assessing the effectiveness of various countermeasures for reducing truck queue length and waiting times at marine terminals.
