TL;DR: TOMAS is now being applied in the simulation of Automated Guided Vehicle-systems for containertransport and for operational scheduling in ERP-environments and will now be further developed to support distributed simulation and will be connected to qualitative modeling techniques.

Abstract: SUMMARY TOMAS is presented as a softwarepackage especially developed for discrete event simulation of complex control problems in logistic and production environments. Based on the experience, that the major part of simulation-effort on these systems consists of programming algoritms, TOMAS is implemented as a toolbox in the application-development environment of Delphi. The design of TOMAS primarily focuses on problem oriented modelling (ease-of-use), communication with problem-owners, speed and flexibility. A TOMAS model is described by means of the processoriented approach, where processes are ‘normal’ objectmethods instead of threads. For verification and presentation purposes TOMAS supports full 3D-animation. TOMAS is now being applied in the simulation of Automated Guided Vehicle-systems for containertransport and for operational scheduling in ERP-environments. Finally, TOMAS will now be further developed to support distributed simulation and will be connected to qualitative modeling techniques.

A simulation model for integrating quay transport and stacking policies on automated container terminals
Mark B. Duinkerken,Jaap A. Ottjes +1 more
- 01 Jan 2001
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of a quay transport system using automated guided vehicles (AGVs) is integrated with a detailed model of the container stack, and the result is a generic, configurable terminal simulation model.
Simulation-based determination of the required stockyard size for dry bulk terminals
TL;DR: To determine the parameters that affect the required storage size, the storage factor was derived analytically and defines the ratio between the annual throughput of a dry bulk terminal and the required stockyard size.
