Simulating new logistics system of Le Havre Port

International audienceThis paper presents a prospective study of the new logistics in Le Havre Port. The future container traffic transfer between maritime terminals and the multimodal terminal acting as a hub is simulated under a multi-paradigm simulation tool. Several scenarios and management rules were tested. The integrated optimization module is used to calibrate different values of simulation parameters. Simulation results are reported and classified as performance indicators. These enable decision makers to have an idea of potential possibilities, difficulties and alternative improvements of the future logistic system
