  • Simulating the Impact of Increased Truck Traffic Through Tunnel Crossing Mobile River
    Conference Proceedings, Huntsville Simulation Conference, October 2008 Simulating the Impact of Increased Truck Traffic through Tunnel Crossing Mobile River Gregory Harris, Mike Spayd, Dietmar P.F. Moeller Michael Anderson and Bernard Schroer University of Hamburg University of Alabama in Huntsville Hamburg, Germany Huntsville, AL USA KEYWORDS Discrete event simulation, freight, truck, transportation, tunnel Downtown Mobile ABSTRACT Exit 27: US 98 This paper presents the development of a simulation model to evaluate the impact of increased 18-wheel truck traffic on the I-10 tunnel crossing the Mobile River in downtown Mobile, Alabama. The increased truck traffic is resulting from overall globalization of international trade and from truck traffic resulting from the expansion of the container terminal at the Port of Mobile. A number of alternatives were evaluated to reduce passenger traffic while increasing truck traffic, including alternative passenger traffic routes, carpooling and passenger car Ge orge Wal l ace Tunne l ferries. Included in this paper are a description of the simulation model, the experimental design, the simulation results and lessons learned. 1. INTRODUCTION Exi t 2 6 B: W at e r St r eet Port of M obile The interstate system in the U.S. is experiencing rapid growth in truck traffic. One reason for this increase is the globalization of international trade. The growth in commuter and truck traffic is significantly increasing the congestion at the I-10 tunnel crossing the Mobile River in Mobile, AL. In addition to the overall effects of growing Figure 1: I-10 through Downtown Mobile, AL international trade, area-specific growth of container shipments is occurring at the Mobile Container Terminal Water Street and travel south to the Mobile Container at the Port of Mobile, AL.
