“…Stolletz (2008) introduces stationary-backlog carryover (SBC) as an alternative solution for time-dependent nonstationary queuing systems. The method has been implemented in various cases, such as in the airport and cargo terminals (Stolletz 2011;Stolletz and Lagershausen 2013;Selinka et al 2016). SBC was also shown 1 3…”

“…This complex truck queuing phenomenon can be conveniently analyzed from the queuing theory perspective. Scheduling job arrivals based on server availability (as in the TAS) is one of the key strategies in queuing theory to minimize idling time and maximize server utilization (Franz and Stolletz 2012;Selinka et al 2016). However, this strategy cannot effectively solve the queuing problem when the terminal operator cannot control the exact truck arrival time (due to road traffic or truck availability) and the equipment availability (due to equipment reliability issues).…”

Efficient mineral transportation is critical for sustainable open-cast mining operations. Queuing theory offers a practical approach to optimizing truck-shovel systems and address truck waiting times at loading and unloading sites. This research evaluates the excavator-truck system at an Algerian open-pit phosphate mine using an M/M/1 queuing model. The model reveals relationships between truck fleet size and queue length, waiting time, shovel utilization, and overall production. Moreover, loading and transportation costs are analysed to determine the optimal truck fleet size that minimizes costs and emissions. The match factor further evaluates fleet compatibility for sustainable planning. This systems analysis provides insights into achieving efficient, low-emission truck-shovel operations through optimized fleet sizes, reduced waiting times, and cost-emission optimization. The integrated queuing model and planning techniques presented can guide sustainable planning of open-pit mining transportation systems. Focusing on efficiency, costs, and emissions allows strategic optimization for both economic and environmental sustainability.

“…Truck arrivals occur with a time-varying Poisson mean arrival rate that depends on both the weekday and the hour of the day[24,25] due to work shifts by both trucking and handling companies as well as flight schedules.Consolidated shipments to be transported by an ELO truck are generated based on pattern and rate of arrivals of either outbound (465 trucks per day on average) or inbound (384 trucks per day) flow. Random GH destination is assigned to ELO-…”

Modelling Landside Logistic Operations of a Mega-hub Airport with Discrete-event Simulation

The need to better understand how to manage the real logistics operations in Schiphol Airport, a strategic hub for the economic development of the Netherlands, created the conditions to develop a project where academia and industry partnered to build a simulation model of the Schiphol Airport Landside operations. This paper presents such a model using discrete-event simulation. A realistic representation of the open road network of the airport as well as the (un)loading dock capacities and locations of the five ground handlers of Schiphol Airport was developed. Furthermore, to provide practitioners with applicable consolidation and truck-dispatching policies, some easy-to-implement rules are proposed and implemented in the model. Preliminary results from this model show that truck-dispatching policies have a higher impact than consolidation policies in terms of both distances travelled by cooperative logistic operators working within the airport and shipments' average flow time. Furthermore, the approach presented in this study can be used for studying similar mega-hubs.
