Simulation of Transportation Activities in Automated Seaport Container Terminals
A container terminal represents a complex system with highly dynamic interactions between the various handling, transportation and storage units and incomplete knowledge about future events. Hence, decentralized planning is the only realistic mode to govern logistics control of automated container terminals. We classify the specific logistics planning and control issues arising in seaport conta...
متن کاملOptimization of container process at seaport terminals
Seaport container terminals are an important part of the logistics systems in international trades. This paper investigates the relationship between quay cranes, yard machines and container storage locations in a multi-berth and multi-ship environment. The aims are to develop a model for improving the operation efficiency of the seaports and to develop an analytical tool for yard operation plan...
متن کاملBuilding Agent-Based Models of Seaport Container Terminals
Agent-based models are increasingly being used to simulate and analyze various transportation problems, from traffic flow [15] to air traffic control [1]. One transportation industry that has not received as much attention from the multi-agent systems community is seaport container terminals. It can be argued that the operations that take place at a container terminal are as complex as that of ...
متن کاملContainer Sharing in Seaport Hinterland Transportation
In this contribution we optimize the transportation of containers in the hinterland of a local area with one terminal and one depot for empty containers and trucks. There are several customers who want to receive goods by inbound containers and several customers who want to ship goods by outbound containers. Additionally, there are empty inbound containers and empty outbound containers. We pres...
متن کاملFreight Transportation Planning and Logistics
A well-functioning freight transportation system is an essential element in any successful economy. However, at the beginning of the new millennium, the prediction is that the demand for goods movement will outstrip the rate of improvements to the physical infrastructure. Marked growth in time-sensitive freight markets will tax demands on a system that already is operating near capacity in some...
