This research dealt with determining appropriate terminology, decision variables, parameters, constraints, and performance measures necessary for strategic, tactical, and operation analyses of overnight cargo terminals using simulation. Specially, a methodology was developed for programming a generic discrete-event simulation model in a general-purpose simulation language that could then be customized by its users to simulate specific overnight intermodal cargo terminals. The customized simulation model can then be used to conduct experiments to improve, or optimize the performance of the terminal. To ensure that the research was well grounded and transferable, our industry partner was Federal Express Corporation.
