[sumo-user] need a little help for my thesis

[Florian V. <flo...@ho...>]

Hello my Name is Florian Vossen,

I am a Student from Germany and currently studying Nautical studies in 
Bremen.

I order to finish my studies I have to write a Diploma thesis (similar 
to a Master thesis). My topic is
already chosen and it will be about the disembarkation and embarkation of a
Passenger ship in normal conditions. That means when the Passenger ship 
is not
able to go to a jettie or pier into the harbor. Here all Passengers have to
disembark by several small tender boats.

About that will be my topic to see how I could improve the tender 
operation to
safe time and fuel.
Here is my question to you if there is the opportunity to help me out with a
simulation program or any other further information.

I would like to simulate the embarkation and disembarkation process of the
passengers and the movements of the tender boats between the big ship 
and the
land station.

I already have chosen a ship where we have about 2200 passengers and where I
have 4 tender boats to work with. Each boat has a capacity of 80-85 
passengers
to sit comfortable. I was already on that ship to get all data, figures and
times of the whole tender operation. So I have all figures of the time to
embark and disembark one ship or how long it takes one person which is not
able to walk very well. Now I only need a suitable simulation program, 
which can simulate simultaneously the loading and unloading of the boats 
(ship side and land side) and at the same the optimal movements of all 4 
tender boats.

In detail I would like to simulate how about 80 people's get into a 
vehicle and than moves a variable distance to disembark and load again 
at the same place and than move back to the first place. I have 4 
vehicles to simulate simultaneously. It doesn't have to be a ship it 
could be a bus or truck.
The point I need is to give or set the loading and disembarking time (or 
each person going into the vehicle) a time frame and the distance and 
speed to go has to be set to.

I would be great if we could find a way how to cooperate so I could use 
one of
you simulation programs.

With best regards

Florian Vossen
