Compendium on Waterway Transportation Reliability: Lock Congestion and Lock Queues

Abstract

The papers presented in this Compendium report research results on problems and proposed solutions on lock congestion and lock queues. The research results present suggestions or alternative solutions for improving the reliability of the inland waterways transportation system. We believe the research provides a stimulus for useful discussion at the Division and District levels. Any comments on information presented in the articles should be addressed to the Navigation Division of the institute for Water Resources. Simulation of waterway transportation, Lockage stalls, Lock interdependence, Tow delays, Lock congestion, Approximating delays, Prioritizing and scheduling, Numerical model, Investments, Metamodels, Queues.
