# Functional Flow Document: Berth Pipeline

## 1. Introduction

The Berth Pipeline manages the processes involved in the berth operation within a container terminal simulation environment. It orchestrates the movement of import container tickets from the yard to the gate, coordinating various equipment and resources to ensure efficient handling.

## 2. Initialization

- Import necessary modules and packages.
- Define constants and set configurations.
- Initialize the `ImportFlowPipeline` class with the provided environment.

## 3. ImportFlowPipeline Class

### 3.1. Description
- Sets up and manages the processes in the Import Flow.

### 3.2. Methods
- **`__init__(self, env)`:**
- Initializes the ImportFlowPipeline with the provided environment.

- **`__call__(self)`:**
- Entry point for executing the import flow processes.
- Initializes the import flow simulation class and sets up EventFlow processes.

- **`setup_processes(self)`:**
- Configures the EventFlow processes required for the import flow.
- Processes include requesting external trucks, waiting for external trucks, driving external trucks to yard, assigning RTGs, waiting for RTGs, driving RTGs to yard, and driving trucks to gate.

- **`get_import_tickets(self)`:**
- Creates import container tickets from input data.
- Merges input data with existing simulation data to create tickets.

### 3.3. Helper Functions
- Set ticket as import, add lift to RTG, request external truck, assign external truck to ticket, release equipment, add gate out destination to truck, release truck, and more.

## 4. Process Execution

- Processes are executed sequentially, coordinating the movement of import container tickets from the yard to the gate.

## 5. Debugging and Logging

- Debugging and logging statements are integrated into the process flow to facilitate troubleshooting and monitoring during simulation execution.
