Cargo Handling Capacities

A Study on Highly Efficient Cargo Handling System

This paper presents the energy saving methods and energy storage system to be required for the highly efficient cargo system in container terminal. The best proper method of energy saving is decided by the operation method of cargo handling system and the saving effect of this method is studied. The advantage and disadvantage of battery as energy saving system is studied. The battery in several...

Time-dependent performance approximation of truck handling operations at an air cargo terminal

This paper provides an analytical solution for the time-dependent performance evaluation of truck handling operations at an air cargo terminal. The demand for loading and unloading operations is highly time-dependent and stochastic for two classes of trucks. Two heterogeneous handling facilities with multiple servers are available to handle trucks assuming exponentially distributed processing t...

Component Modelling of Ship Systems in TRANSAS Liquid Cargo Handling Simulators

Analysis of requirements of physical realism and computational performance for mathematical models, used in liquid cargo handling simulators is presented. Depth of physical modelling, necessary to satisfy the requirements, is considered. Approaches to composition of mathematical models are outlined. Component-based approach with “RanD Model Designer” visual modelling software is described. Comp...

Baggage handling in an airplane cargo hold: An ergonomic intervention study

Incidence rates of lost time back and shoulder injuries in the airline industry are some of the highest in all of private industry. Commonly, risk factors associated with such injuries include overexertion, repetitive lifting, and awkward postures. These factors are found in combination in the airline baggage handler job. Twelve male subjects performed a simulated baggage handling task in a kne...
