Modeling a Roll-on Roll-off Port Operations

[matt_choiVJPNS]

Has anyone modeled a Roll-on Roll Off Port operations before? I know FlexSim CT/FlexTerm has been used to emulate container ports, but wondering if anyone has experience using the AGV and people module to simulate RoRo operations

Is this not similar to get into or leave an elevator, take a bus or load and unload a vehicle?

It is. I was thinking of using AGV for unloading/loading vehicles off the ship, so the simulation won't be showing people getting in/out of vehicles. The people aspect should be able to be modeled, and I can have them take a shuttle from the unloading zone to the yard. I was just curious to see if anyone has created a model before

It is only a question about a shape. If you let enter a taskexecuter in a shape of a person an elevator then this is nothing else than have a vehicle enter a ship. You load a taskexecuter into another taskexecuter. Building a model is more than dragging an object of a truck and ship into a work space. It is more an process in which you try to find similar acting objects to imitate a suitable behavior.
