A smart Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enables a synchronized interplay of different key factors, aligning infrastructures, consumers, and governmental policy-making needs. In the harbor’s logistics context, smart ICT has been driving a multi-year wave of growth. Although there is a standalone value in the technological innovation of a task, the impact of a new smart technology is unknown without quantitative analysis methods on the end-to-end process. In this paper, we first present a review of the smart ICT for marine container terminals, and then we propose to evaluate the impact of such smart ICT via business process model and notation (BPMN) modeling and simulation. The proposed approach is discussed in a real-world modeling and simulation analysis, made on a pilot terminal of the Port of Leghorn (Italy).

通过BPMN建模和仿真评估智能技术对港口物流的影响

智能信息和通信技术（ICT）可以使各种关键因素同步相互作用，从而使基础架构，消费者和政府决策需求保持一致。在港口的物流环境中，智能ICT推动了多年的增长浪潮。尽管一项任务的技术创新具有独立的价值，但是如果没有对端到端过程进行定量分析的方法，那么新智能技术的影响是未知的。在本文中，我们首先对船用集装箱码头的智能ICT进行综述，然后提出通过业务流程模型和符号（BPMN）建模和仿真来评估这种智能ICT的影响。在莱格霍恩港（意大利）的领航码头进行的真实世界建模和仿真分析中讨论了所提出的方法。
