Abstract

The Internet provides a high opportunity for international collaboration in computational modeling and simulation in specific areas of concentration. Transportation and logistics are the areas of concentration for which models have been developed and implemented to monitor and control the underlying transportation and logistics processes dependent on constraints essential to study different transportation and logistics scenarios. Beside this the Internet also allows international student access to run the foregoing mentioned transportation and logistics scenarios. This is introduced as a virtual teaching and learning opportunity in transportation and logistics to support collaboration between international student team members. Thus, the students can develop plans and procedures for classes, case studies and student team projects, to perform measurements and data processing as part of their transportation and logistics project. Moreover this approach allows collaborative work at an international level independently of location and time.
