Titel
Planning suite for infrastructure and process design of seaports
Abstract
The experiences and results of numerous logistics infrastructure projects show that installation planning still represents a big challenge. Due to complexity and gap of information, the "wrong" problem are frequently solved with comparatively high expenditure leading to poor market success. Against this background the coupling of modem planning technologies is considered as promising solution approach by the authors. The objective is to implement a tool-based planning suite enabling the integrated processing of coherent problems in the field of port infrastructure planning without major delays and any media disruptions. The contribution describes the concept of the planning suite and in particular its state of implementation. In this regard, the chosen tools and core elements of coupling are of superior interest. Finally, the practical use of the planning environment is discussed by means of the example of preplanning activities required for new construction or expansion of seaport container terminals.
