III. Global Conference on Innovation in Marine Technology and the Future of Maritime Transportation, İzmir, Türkiye, 18 - 19 Nisan 2019
Maritime transportation changes in the direction of safely, securily, protection of the marine
environment, optimal time, and cost. Simulation is one of the effective methods for solving
problems such as the prevention of accidents and the detection of security weaknesses.
Simulations are also widely used to analyze existing conditions, to understand
behavior, to design, to evaluate systems through models. The simulation studies take
place in the literature as Discrete Event Simulation, System Dynamics, and Agent-based
Simulation. Agent-based Simulation (ABS) models consist of the agents that implement
defined rules, agent-agent relationships, and interactions between an agent and its
environment. ABS is used in a wide variety of disciplines including physical, biological,
social, engineering, and management sciences. The aim of this study is to determine the
simulation studies, especially for the agent-based models in maritime transportation. For
this purpose, it has been researched simulation/ modeling studies used in maritime
transportation, and it has been tried to reveal the subjects and contents that are focused
especially on the agent-based models. As a result of the literature review, it has been
determined that the modeling/ simulation studies for maritime transportation are mostly
concentrated on the analysis of maritime traffic, piracy, efficiency of port equipment, and
analysis of search and rescue operations.
