Abstract

Rail freight terminals engage in extensive loading and unloading to transfer freight between trains or to and from trucks. An efficient loading/unloading procedure is essential for smooth running of a terminal and effective use of expensive machinery. Terminals differ in the freight characteristics but simulation can be a useful tool in examining both feasible and near optimal loading options. Various loading and freight options are examined here with specific consideration of the rail terminal in Melbourne.
