Evaluation of the Traffic Congestion in the Passage I of Pusan Harbour due to the Opening of the Extended Terminal adjacent to the Gamman Terminal and Other Port Developments

감만부두 확장구역 개장과 기타 항만개발이 장래 부산 북항에 미치는 해상교통 혼잡도 평가에 관하여

In Pusan Harbour, new port development projects are implemented such as the Extended Terminal adjacent to the Gamman Terminal, Pusan New Port, the Navy $\bigcirc$$\bigcirc$ piers, etc. which will require new marine traffic environments in the Passage I of Pusan Harbour. Specially, the turning basin of the Extended Terminal adjacent to the Gamman Terminal has been designed to overlay the Passage I of Pusan Harbour, which will interrupt the inbound traffic flow and the results will be worried to decrease the efficiency of port operation. Therefore, this paper will be aimed to evaluate the traffic congestion in the Pusan Passage I due to the opening of new ports within Pusan Harbour in 2006 and 2011 by using computer simulation based the queueing theory.
