PARCEL FLOW-SIMULATION TOOL OF PARSEC SYSTEMOF-SYSTEMS' SCANNING TECHNOLOGY ARCHITECTURE.

The rapid growth of e-commerce has led to an unprecedented increase in parcel volumes, posing significant challenges for secure and efficient cross-border parcel delivery. This paper presents a preliminary study on the development of the PARSEC flow-simulation tool, which aims to improve parcel flow management for customs by integrating advanced detection technologies into parcel handling processes. The simulation model incorporates three scanning technologies into a system-ofsystems approach. Initial results demonstrate the potential for high detection rates and reduced false alarms, thereby minimizing costly and time-consuming manual inspections. By addressing important issues in parcel management flows, this tool could significantly enhance decision-making for secure and efficient parcel processing, making it adaptable to different facility sizes and operational conditions.
