Title
Multifacetted, Object Oriented Modeling in the Transportation Domain
Abstract
Multimodal transport, i.e. transport which is accomplished by different transport means like truck and train, is a most important issue of the European transport policy. It offers a viable and efficient alternative to long distance road transport. However, due to its much more complex organizational needs compared to pure road transport, multimodal transport systems have to be designed with utmost care and its operation has to be well coordinated and managed. In this paper we discuss concepts and techniques evolved in systems theory based modeling and simulation research to provide a methodology for large scale transport system analysis and design. The methodology gains its power by integrating several distinct approaches, viz. multilevel, hierarchical modeling as developed by Mesarovic, multifacetted object oriented modeling as defined by Zeigler, and multiformalism, modular hierarchical systems theory based modeling formalisms.
