| Summary: | The upcoming Tuas Mega Port in Singapore is aiming to be the world’s largest fully
automated terminal. However, it will only be fully constructed by 2040. Additionally,
the only depictions of it are static renders which provide little information to its modern
features.
The aim of this project is to create a virtual 3D simulation of an automated port. The
application will allow users to explore the features of a next-generation port. The
simulation was created using the Unity3D game engine. It was assessed using
software quality attributes, from the ISO 25010 software quality model, such as
correctness, efficiency, usability and portability.
After being assessed, the application was found to be slightly lacking in the usability
attribute but is sufficient in all others. The project has fulfilled its requirements
specified and is able to show users some features of the new port.
Improvements can be done on the lack of instructions or tutorial, and use of
placeholder models due to the lack of proper 3D models. For future similar projects,
the automation of the port could be improved upon. This can be done by creating an
importing and exporting of containers system where the containers would
automatically be hauled from ships to storage and vice versa. |
