Abstract

In this paper, a study was conducted inquiring into the development of a simulator, which can be used as training material for the internal process of container terminal among various areas of habor distribution. For developing a simulator, a language called Powersim was used. It is a useful tool for causationally modelling the composition of a system. The advantage of designing the model of a container terminal by using the tool is that learners can causationally understand the internal process of the container terminal. On the other hand, the interface of the simulator has been designed as a form of digital dashboard, which faciliates the input and output of the senario (Value of environmental variables) so the learners can analyze the course of changes incurring during processing the traffic volume within the terminal depending on various technologies and how they are applied in the terminal. In the following studies, we are planning to develop a more dynamic training tool for operating container terminal by complementing the ommitted part of the simulation model developed up to the present and by concretly designing the parts that have been presented abstractly.
