A Model for Traffic Behaviour Evaluation Based on a Discrete Event Simulation Approach

There are various reasons why both freight and passenger transport demands keep growing significantly not only in Europe, but also worldwide. In this framework, the interaction between such demands in urban areas assumes a relevant role in the overall performances of an urban transportation system. In this paper, the special case of a seaport located in an urban area is considered, since such a situation often occurs in cities grown along the coast around an “old” port. Then, to cope with the problem of simply modeling the freight and passenger flows in urban areas, in this paper a colored Petri net modeling approach is proposed.
