            Abstract : 
In this paper, we discuss issues concerning the simulation of transportation systems. In particular, we demonstrate a number of implementation tricks that are designed to make the modeling and coding processes more efficient and transparent. We present examples involving the simulation of commercial airline and military sealift operations.
