“…The micro-simulation model has been developed in previous studies (Gattuso and Cassone, 2012). The model has been built, and in particular, it has been specified, calibrated and tested; the results of each phase have been proposed in a previous work (Gattuso et al, 2014a).…”

The logistics and transportation sectors research new ways, new strategies and new technologies to improve the efficiency and the competitiveness, reducing the waste and increasing the services quality. The ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) allow an efficient management of the logistics processes and represent useful tools for companies to produce new knowledge, new organizational models and new business cultures in order to carry out competitive advantage. The paper aims to highlight the ITS contribution in the management of the freight interchange nodes. Four case studies are proposed, in which the current system is compared with some project scenarios involving ITS in the logistics activities. The reference system is an agri-food platform and the study concerns the processes related to the inbound activities. The analysis has been carried out using a dynamic, stochastic, discrete-event micro-simulation model, conveniently specified and calibrated.

“…In addition, many studies approach the node analysis by taking into account the characteristics of the transport network [1,[15][16][17][18][19]. In these cases, the performance evaluation and the optimization of the UDC are carried out considering the relations between the node and the served territorial context.…”

The performance of a freight interchange warehouse can be improved and/or enhanced through the analysis, study and optimization of active processes for the treatment/handling of goods. This paper proposes a discrete event microsimulation model as a tool useful to design a freight interchange warehouse and, particularly, to manage the exchange of freights between heavy lorries, coming from extra-urban regions, and small electric vans used for urban distribution. In particular, the paper focuses on dimensioning the warehouse structure and handling means in order to optimize the operational activities in relation to inbound freight flows (vehicles from extra-regional areas) and outbound freight flows (urban distribution service). The micro-simulation model allowed ex-ante and ex-post evaluations proving to be a useful decision support tool in planning.

“…The proposed work is part of an extensive search, in which a discrete event, stochastic, dynamic micro-simulation model has been appropriately specified, calibrated and validated to analyze the operation of a logistics platform in order to determine ITS performance in different system configurations by using appropriate efficiency indicators (Gattuso and Cassone, 2012).…”

The paper focuses on the receiving area of a logistics platform operating in the agri-food sector. The main aim of this work is to propose a "what to" approach for the resolution of problems related to the vehicles and goods receiving. The approach is based on a dynamic, stochastic, discrete-event micro-simulation model, which was properly specified and calibrated. The work proposes the formulation of the mathematical model defining the receiving activities in the logistics platform. The aim of the objective function is to minimize the average trucks turnaround in accordance with constraints allowing to establish the optimal entry sequence of the inbound trucks. The problem formulation considers the introduction of ITS to support the receiving activities management.
