A computer simulation model developed to study the operating characteristics of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway navigation system is described. The model is comprised of a simulation program (NETSIM II), a report generation program (PROSIM), both written in SIMSCRIPT, and four FORTRAN support programs used to structure selected input data in the required format for simulation. The model is addressed to the task of analyzing the performance of a waterway system under various structural and nonstructural improvements in terms of delays, congestion and utilization. Major features of the model include the ability to simulate bi-directional traffic flows through lakes, channels, locks and ports and the ability to balance the supply and demand of transportable commodities and transport equipment units in the system.
