Toward Increased Use of Simulation in Transportation

The validity and usefulness of system simulation has been well-established for decades in areas such as computer and communications systems, general manufacturing systems, and military systems along with many other areas. Recent years have seen the technique become entrenched in specific areas such as automotive manufacturing, semiconductor fabrication, and automated warehouse design. Transportation simulation also has a long history as evidenced by publication of numerous transportation simulation papers in the Winter Simulation Conference Proceedings and other publications over the years. During the past few years the number of transportation simulation applications presented at WSC has increased, to the point that in WSC'98 for the first time there is an entire track
