Simulation Using GPSS
| Hi-index | 0.00 |
This paper discusses the application of a GPSS (General Purpose Simulation System) model to a unique planning situation on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. Various factors influencing levels of tourism are evaluated in addition to resultant economic and environmental impacts. Specifically, passive regulation of visitor traffic via ferry schedule modification is examined in relation to daily expenditures by visitor type versus the associated costs of increased police and medical services, water consumption, and solid waste disposal.
