i4Port: Simulation -Drayage Operations Based On Vehicle Communication Technologies At Port Terminals
summary
Simulation couples SUMO + TraCI with a Python optimizer to test a time‑reservation, vehicle‑communication TAS where each truck agent sends position, speed and desired arrival to a terminal management agent. A 7‑hour Scandinavian port scenario runs 10 ships, 1,500 containers and 1,500 trucks across three access routes (50 deliveries / 50 collections per route) and compares dynamic reservations against fixed time windows. Results show lower waiting and travel times, reduced parking occupancy and shorter gate queues from real‑time vehicle‑to‑terminal reservations.
