Abstract

This paper presents the agenda extending the project reported at the International Maritime Transport and Logistics Conference “Marlog 10” in 2021. Within the framework of the Smart Port model project proposed by the European Union institutions, we examined the control model of the port of Genoa and the digital twin representation of the Terminal San Giorgio. The application of digital technologies to intermodal systems like ports and harbors would give highly positive results in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. The resources employed were a Digital Twin realized with the Optimize software, a simulation developed through Anylogic, a tracking system operated by OpenGTS, and an AI platform developed through Bonsai. In addition, we have considered the libraries that, in our opinion, are necessary when designing a port simulation model. Our proposed model includes loading, unloading, storage planning, and other operations taking place at the port of Genoa. The article presents various agents which play a fundamental role in the simulation.
