Dutch title: Een simulatiemodel voor de aanloopprocedure in de haven van Antwerpen
Period: February 2004 till December 2005
Status: Completed

Thesaurus term: Queueing theory
The nautical access to the port of Antwerp is a complex set of operational guidelines and nautical and technical side-constraints to assure an optimal accessibility to the port. Using discrete event simulation, the research team aims at analyzing the current situation to optimize the system for educational and research objectives.
