Statistical Data Collectors

An Extended Example

Model Description

To demonstrate the use of the other statistical data collectors we will once more extend the simple model of the rail station of a container terminal used in the Bin sub-section of the Advanced Modelling Features section.

After adding two counters we will now add the following data collectors to this model:

• A tally to record the average time a train needs to wait for containers.

• An accumulate to calculate the mean storage load level of the four storage areas.

• A time series to log the storage load level of the Northern Europe dedicated storage area.

• A histogram to record a distribution of ship sizes.

Now let us take a look at the four previously described steps to integrate these data collectors into the given model.
