Simulation and Logistics Engineering
Here you will find information on the individual thematic focal points of the Simulation and Logistics Engineering division.
![Simulation A container terminal in the foreground and a compound diagram in the background](/storages/itl-mb/r/03_Forschung_Projekte/Gruppenseiten_Bilder_Logos/Simulation.png)
- Discrete event simulation of logistics systems (manually operated and automated)
- Development of simulation environments for logistics systems (e.g., container terminals, terminals for intermodal transport, freight forwarding facilities and distribution centers)
- Statistical methodology for the generation of synthetic shipment data
- Statistical methodology for optimized selection of operational strategies using simulation
![Planning and Green Logistics Section of a planning program in the foreground and a layout of a forwarding terminal in the background](/storages/itl-mb/r/03_Forschung_Projekte/Gruppenseiten_Bilder_Logos/Planungskonzepte.png)
- Methods for automated layout planning of logistics systems (e.g., freight forwarding facilities)
- Statistical analysis and evaluation of manual handling tasks to validate material flow planning of dynamic logistics systems
- Development and comparative analysis of methods for measuring greenhouse gas emissions of freight transport
- Analysis of measures to reduce CO2-emissions of stationary and mobile processes in logistics companies (ecological and economic review)

- Intelligent linking of detection technology for shipment characteristics with the control of automatic sorting systems
- Control strategies for manual processes and resources (e.g., forklifts and staff) as well as functional areas (e.g., buffer areas) in logistics systems
- Intelligent operating and control strategies for container terminals (e.g., crane control)
- Multi-criteria control strategies for the yard management in transshipment facilities of logistics service providers
