<p align="justify">The increase of container flow and limited available land for the development of the container terminal area encourages the concept of setting the port-related activity outside the port area. Activities that possible to be placed outside port area are inventory and customs clearance. Inland Container Depots (ICD) is a container handling and storage facility situated at the inland location away from seaports. Considering these activities, container handling process which conducted outside the port should be integrated into the terminal. Integrated Inland Container Depots (IICD) is ICD, where the inventory and the customs inspection could be done. IICD operation causes additional container cost from the terminal to each IICD. Public road conditions that are also used by non-container traffic need attention when deciding to locate or operate IICD. The optimization of terminal and IICD is crucial for terminal users, operators, and Government. The purpose of this research is to determine the optimum terminal and IICD system configuration, with the criterion of minimizing total cost of the container from the user point of view. Optimizations undertaken consider YOR as the criteria for terminal operation, arrival interval and time of the stochastic container service as well as the travel time and volume of road traffic. An experimental test of the system integration of terminal and IICD was conducted with the case study of Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT). <br /> <br /> <br /> Discrete Event Simulation Model is used as a method to obtain variables in calculating the total container costs. A bi-level programming framework is used, with simulations representing user equilibrium of the operator and the user at the lower level and determining the optimum configuration that represents system optimization at the upper level. The optimum condition was obtained by completion of a combinatorial problem of the terminal and IICD system configuration which can be completed by calculating all alternatives (Full Enumeration). The evaluation of the selection impact of the terminal and IICD system configuration can be done by comparing the existing and the terminal and IICD optimum configuration. The container throughput variables, container dwell times and connecting road travel times are used in performance comparisons. <br /> <br /> <br /> Based on the experimental test of the Jakarta International Container Terminal, the model can simulate the process of container movement starting from the ship discharge to the industrial location and select the optimum terminal and IICD system configuration, from specified scenario alternatives. The model test confirms the limitations of the terminal system and the IICD in handling increased demand, where the system is unable to enhance the terminal service capacity above quay capacity and also internal transfers from quay into the yard. From the result of the model test, IICD's operation provides significant improvement of throughput and dwell time terminal for demand near or over terminal yard capacity. It indicates the terminal and IICD can handle the container traffic in a higher level. The operation of IICD can increase the terminal capability to the maximum size of the previous service unit, i.e., the quay and the internal transfer into the yard. Nevertheless, the model test results showed no significant improvement of travel time on the connecting road. <br /> <br /> <br /> Existing demand test result shows that the operation of all IICD with a total capacity reduction of 7% and an increase in Cilincing IICD capacity by 20% and a 20% reduction in Yos Sudarso IICD and LLRE Martadinata IICD capacity are optimum measures. While the existing IICD infrastructure capable of handling demand up to 130% current. On container traffic 175% of the existing, the operation of all IICD with a total capacity increase of 200% with the configuration of Cilincing IICD and LLRE Martadinata IICD capacity increase of 116% and 44% Yos Sudarso IICD capacity is the best configuration.<p align="justify">
