Effective Route Analysis For Petrol Delivery And System Optimization Using Arena Simulation

Oil is extracted and stored in the depot and will be sent to the petrol station. Usually, depots are located far from petrol stations. Therefore, one of the problems that has been considered is the time travel that takes a long-time causing gas stations to run out of fuel and hence reduce profits. I...
