A MAS Approach for Port Container Terminal Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a system architecture which is based on the multi-agent system paradigm for solving complex problems. This architecture is applied to solve the port container terminal management problem, and specifically to solve the automatic container allocation. The multi-agent systems paradigm seems to fit this problem due to its inherent complexity. This work is part of a project for the integral management of the container terminal of an actual port.

The dramatic increasing of sea-freight container transportations and the developing trend for using containers in the multimodal handling systems through the sea, rail, road and land in the present market cause some challenges to the general managers of container terminals such as increasing demand, competitive situation, new investments and expansion of new activities and the need to use new m...
متن کاملManagement of dangerous goods in container terminal with MAS model
In a container terminal, many operations occur within the storage area: containers import, containers export and containers shifting. All these operations require the respect of many rules and even laws in order to guarantee the port safety and to prevent risks, especially when hazardous material is concerned. In this paper, we propose a hybrid architecture, using a Cellular Automaton and a Mul...
