To ensure safety during transport within the intermodal chain, it is important to identify possible dynamic events that could affect cargo. In case of bulk cargo in an ACTS (Abroll-Container-Transport-System) container, dynamics and vehicle vary normal such as braking, steering, evasive maneuver like. this research, we used MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensors parameters acceleration...

Abstract Maritime transportation forms the backbone of world merchandise trade. In this paper, we consider a problem that combines three interconnected subproblems in tramp shipping: fleet adjustment problem, cargo selection and ship routing problem. For selection, decision behaviors under setting Contract Affreightment (COA), which cargoes should be rejected or accepted as batch. view uncertai...

When transporting such cargos as mineral fertilizers by water, they absorb moisture, which stimulates cargo self-heating and ultimately leads to dangerous temperature limits. ANP fertilizer in holds, its equilibrium moisture content can change significantly, lead the damage. The article presents findings on processes of hydrothermal moistening porous bodies example associated with phenomena sor...

This study is motivated by the practice of large iron and steel companies, which have steady and heavy demands for bulk raw materials such as iron ore, coal, limestone and so on. These materials are usually transported to a bulk cargo terminal by ships (or to a station by trains). Once discharged, they are moved to and stored in bulk material stock yard, waiting for retrieval for production use...

The transportation of people and freight of cargo increase as the numbers of high-speed vessels and huge cargo ships steadily grow. In addition, large cargoes of dangerous bulk freights are shipped across our seas and through the shallow waters of our archipelagoes. This emerging situation calls for new means of navigation concepts in order to support the man on the bridge. In this paper we des...
