the optimal number of yard cranes in container terminal
Authors
abstract
the aim of this study is to propose a new mixed integer linear programming (milp) model to find the minimum required number of yard cranes, rubber tyred gantry cranes (rtgcs), for completion the total amount of works at the end of planning horizon. in other word, we find the optimal number of yard cranes in a container terminal which completes the total amount of works. the paper supports the proposed method using a numerical example.

The optimal number of yard cranes in container terminal
The aim of this study is to propose a new mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model to find the minimum required number of yard cranes, Rubber tyred gantry cranes (RTGCs), for completion the total amount of works at the end of planning horizon. In other word, we find the optimal number of yard cranes in a container terminal which completes the total amount of works. The paper supports the p...

full textQuay Cranes and Yard Trucks Scheduling Problem at Container Terminals
A bi-objective mathematical model is developed to simultaneously consider the quay crane and yard truck scheduling problems at container terminals. Main real-world assumptions, such as quay cranes with non-crossing constraints, quay cranes’ safety margins and precedence constraints are considered in this model. This integrated approach leads to better efficiency and productivity at container te...
full textComparison of AHP and FAHP for Selecting Yard Gantry Cranes in Marine Container Terminals
The time that containerships or transportation trucks spend in marine container terminals for loading and unloading their cargo is a real cost scenario which affects, not only the smooth operation of ports, but also affect the overall cost of container trade. The operators of shipping lines and container terminals are required to realize the importance of this issue and the costs associated wit...
full textYard management for improving the efficiency of a Container Terminal
Cost and time efficient port operations are vital nowadays due to the increasing port competition worldwide. In many cases, efficiency may overcome strategic positioning, i.e. a shipping line may prefer to call at a port which is able to handle efficiently a large mother vessel, and take advantage of economies of scale, even if it is not situated near to the main international shipping routes. ...
full text3D Simulation Modeling Of Yard Operation In A Container Terminal
The yard operation plays an important role in the daily running of a container terminal. Whether the efficiency of a terminal can be improved depends to a significant extent on the operation of its container yard. In order to analyze the yard operation, this paper builds a 3D simulation model to simulate and visualize the yard operation in a container terminal. First, we study the characteristi...
