This paper describes the use of simulation techniques in the development of standards for off-street loading facilities for goods distribution in the city center. This work uses a simple GPSS model to quantify queues of trucks and also uses a complex traffic simulator to quantify the “congestion” resulting from the formation of queues at inadequately planned and operated off-street loading facilities. This paper is drawn from research sponsored by The Office of University Research, U.S. Department of Transportation. |
