A petri net modelling approach of intermodal terminals based on Metrocargo system

摘要: To cope with the growing demand of moving freight, an innovative system for easily and quickly manage containers moved by trains, named Metrocargoreg, has been designed. The leading idea such a is to speed up operations loading/unloading on/from goal assimilating goods passengers in transportation, thus increasing flexibility whole and, possibly, optimising space allocation inside each terminal. In this framework, whereas performances appear be promising, no models evaluate them have proposed yet. Then, achieve task, paper model Metrocargoreg intermodal terminals based on timed Petri nets presented, which allows define modular, performance-evaluation oriented representation considered
