The simulation model is devel oped, and the findings show that the chassis exchange terminal (CET) reduces empty-truck trips while reducing conges tion
The results show that the waiting time for trucks requiring custom operations in both the gate and the customs station queue (S2Gate+Custom) is the same as having one extra lane
Summary
As the marine logistics industry continues to expand, many ports and surrounding communities are experiencing traffic congestion at the container terminal gate. Gate waiting time is detrimental to truckers’ economic well-being, but it causes supply chain delays and contri butes significantly to air pollution. All of these factors combine to make traffic congestion at the gate a severe problem. Songkhla port is the only transit port in southern Thailand that connects to Singapore port. It is a major port in the southern part of the country, with rubber products as the primary export cargo. Songkhla port struggles to relieve traffic congestion and is currently implementing an exit gate sharing policy. If the truck arrival rate continues to rise, such an approach will be ineffective in addressing the problem
