Description
This report presents a detailed approach to the problem of
determining expected shipping delays that are caused by
inadequate channel width. Data collection and analysis is
accomplished for the shipping industry of Tampa Bay,
Florida. Historical data and cargo projection are used to
develop the expected shipping traffic density and
distribution for the year 2000. An overview of a computer
model that simulates the shipping traffic and accounts for
delays due to channel width is presented. A sensitivity
analysis performed on the model to determine the effect
each input variable has on shipping delays. The results are
presented in the form of shipping delay curves for seven
types of vessels over a range of channel widths.
