Simulation of ferry que management system in Croatia

The main purpose of this paper was to analyse and describe vehicular queues created because of waiting time needed for vehicles to be boarded on ferries during the main tourist (summer) season in the Republic of Croatia. Since optimization of such large and high scale offer and demand system, including both road traffic and ferry infrastructure, could not have been tested in real time conditions, the main idea was to conduct analysis using computer based simulation model. Additionally, optimization of the overall system inelasticity has been conducted based on implementation of the Ferry Que Management System (FQMS). Simulation output analysis indicated the FQMS implementation to be feasible for most of analysed ferry lines but at the same time, it clearly indicated that each ferry line requires individual approach for an optimal solution to be found. The simulation output analysis also provided a clear indication of optimization limitations defined by input values.
