Transportation solutions

AAI has a focused intermodal transportation modeling practice. This includes marine and inland terminals as well as port/harbor regional terminals that connect multiple terminal facilities with rail and other infrastructure.

Every transportation system, whether it is a single terminal or a regional network, must be able to service demand peaks and provide desired level-of-service. With simulation modeling, you can analyze which infrastructure and resource requirements are needed to support projected demands and determine if adequate capacity is provided.

When you are considering a facility expansion or exploring infrastructure requirements to meet increasing demand or identify critical bottlenecks in your system, simulation modeling will provide the tools to help visualize and validate operational plans and designs before making decisions that may have significant investment requirements, as well as environmental impacts. With simulation it is possible to:

• Improve level-of-service and throughput by effectively deploying labor and equipment resources
• Validate a proposed process change or facility expansion
• Compare level-of-service provided across multiple design alternatives

AAI has more than 16 years experience solving supply chain related problems. Our services include:

• Dynamic capacity analysis based on projected demand mix and volumes
• Development, delivery and training of simulation based solutions for ongoing capacity planning and analysis
• Proof-of-system performance to support planning, concept and design efforts
• Mentoring projects - working with you to properly apply simulation technology to solve problems
