Dispatching Vehicles Considering Uncertain Handling times at Port Container Terminals
This paper considers the problem of vehicle dispatching at port container terminals in a dynamic environment. The problem deals with the assignment of delivery orders of containers to vehicles while taking into consideration the uncertainty in the travel times of the vehicles. Thus, a real-time vehicle dispatching algorithm is proposed for adaptation to the dynamic changes in the states of the ...
متن کاملDispatching and layout rules at an automated container terminal
We study an automated container terminal in which Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are used to internally transport containers and Automated Stacking Cranes (ASCs) to store and retrieve containers. In designing container terminals, the terminal management has to consider the choice for interrelated AGV and ASC dispatching rules and the layout of the stack. In this paper, we, therefore, examine ...
متن کاملTask Coordination of Automated Guided Vehicles in a Container Terminal
This paper introduces a new generation of Automated Guided Vehicles, called IPSI® AGVs, which are evaluated in the operations of a Container Terminal. The objective is to identify number of automated guided vehicles and cassettes required in order to that a number of cranes will not be idle during ship loading and unloading operations. A protocol called Contract Net is evaluated in the coordina...
متن کاملA dispatching method for automated lifting vehicles in automated port container terminals
In automated container terminals, containers are transported from the marshalling yard to a ship and vice versa by automated vehicles. The automated vehicle type studied in this paper is an automated lifting vehicle (ALV) that is capable of lifting a container from the ground by itself. This study discusses how to dispatch ALVs by utilizing information about pickup and delivery locations and ti...
متن کاملA simulation optimization method for vehicles dispatching among multiple container terminals
Container terminals, serving as the hubs between container ships and other transportations nodes, are of extreme importance in streamlining the ever increasing global trade. Many different factors affect the service efficiency in container terminals, which inspire great interest in both industrial and academic researches. This work focuses on vehicle dispatching problem which decides, for each ...
