| Summary: | 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. | |
