Abstract

A computer simulation model of the locks system on the lower Fox River is described. The SLAM simulation language [Pritsker 1984] is used for the model, which includes boats entering and leaving the locks system and operation of the locks. The model simulates boats traveling upstream and downstream through the locks system, for both one-way trips and round trips. Operation of the locks is simulated through the use of resources and gates that control the movement of the boats entering and leaving the locks.
