    Simulation modeling and analysis of border security system
    (2002) Çelik, Gökhan
    Border control is vital to the security of the nation and its citizens. Hence, states all around the world look at measures to increase the security of their borders. On the other hand, increasing border security also brings significant financial costs. In this study, the performance of a Border Company is analyzed by simulation modeling of the operational activities of a Border Company supported by Border Battalion. Our main objective is to find out more efficient ways of increasing border control and security along the land borders of Turkey. To achieve this objective, we examine the border security system structure and its components, observe the relationships between performance measures, and find out effects of security elements on the system performance measures. We also investigate system responses when changes implemented in the system or new resources added, evaluate different alternatives that improve the performance measures by using ranking/selection and multi-criteria decision-making procedures. The model is developed by using ARENA simulation system and the results are analyzed by using SPSS statistical package program. A comprehensive bibliography is also provided in the thesis.

    Simulation modelling and analysis of a border security system
    (Elsevier, 2007-07-11) Çelik, G.; Sabuncuoğlu, İ.
    Border control is vital to the security of a nation and its citizens. All countries look at measures to improve the security of their borders. But increasing security can bring a substantial financial burden. In this study, we analyze the border security problem of Turkey using a simulation approach. Our main objective is to find more efficient ways of improving border control and security along Turkey’s land borders. To achieve this, we examine the structure of the border security system and its major elements, examine the relationships between performance measures, and assess the effectiveness of security elements on each system performance measure. We also look into the issues of planned changes and additional resources, and we evaluate new alternative system designs. The results of simulation experiments are analyzed by statistical methods.
