Automatic Guided Vehicles Introduction Impacts to Roll-On/Roll-Off Terminals: Simulation and Cost Model Analysis

Figure 4

The simulation results for the current loading system. The longest waiting time was attributed to the batch delivery process, where drivers were collected by the shuttle van. The second-longest waiting time was attributed to the 5 s rule, which was applied to all vehicles to avoid collision with preceding vehicles. The total loading time was 93,099.70 s. As mentioned in Section 2.3.2, these results are similar to the actual data of port A.
