Limen: A Port Simulation/Optimisation Framework
Project Manager: Dr Panagiotis Angeloudis
A modular framework capable of simulating container, passenger and RoRo ports has been under developement within PORTeC, and has already been applied with great success in the context of consultancy and research projects undertaken by the group.
The framework also contains 3D visualisation and data analysis engines, capable of providing in-depth comparisons of the current and to-be states of the simulated environment, thus simplifying the task of decision makers in the planning phase of large projects.
