Abstract

The paper is a description of simulation models of container yards operated with ground-moving transport tools that anticipate possible conflicts in the labyrinth among stored containers and according to it determine their future paths as secure as possible. The transport tools are viewed as managed by a central computer that computes the shortest path for every transport tool when it needs it, simulates what could happen the future applying it and possibly modifies the computed path - all of that before the path is used. Therefore the simulation models of the container yards reflect the central computer of the yard and with it also the simulation models the computer handles. Moreover, the computing of the shortest path is implemented as another simulation model carried by the central computer, namely a model of a fictitious system.
