Intelligent transport systems in multimodal logistics: A case of role and contribution through wireless vehicular networks in a sea port location

► Investigates the feasibility of ITS in sea port multimodal logistics. ► Use of process mapping to analyse port logistics processes. ► Identification of information requirements for bulk tipping operations. ► Data traffic volumes stabilized within the first five minutes of simulation-run. ► ITS-DSRC can provide detailed monitoring capabilities to sea port manual-intensive logistics operations.
