Container ports have been faced under increasing development during last 10 years. In such systems, the container transportation system has the most important effect on the total system. Therefore, there is a continuous need for the optimal use of equipment and facilities in the ports. Regarding the several complicated structure and activities in container ports, this paper evaluates and compar...

The marshalling operation has often been identified as a performance bottleneck for high-speed network applications. In this paper, we propose the use of profile guided code generation of marshalling routines in order to better adapt performance optimisations of marshalling routines to the requirements of a specific application. We motivate this approach with a detailed case study and measureme...

Based on the marshalling station transfer operation process, this paper divides process into three sub-processes: arriving-disintegrating, disintegrating-marshalling and marshalling-dispatching. Considering input of facilities station, intermediate output operating time final number trains, an evaluation index system is constructed a slacks-based network DEA model established. For purposes illu...

Purpose. To improve the method for distributing tracks of industrial railway stations accumulation car groups between separate assignments. The optimization problem is to find such a distribution classification work marshalling yard and freight stations, as well individual destinations, which ensures minimum time expenditures on shunting work. Methodology. studies were carried out using methods...

We describe a new approach to the automatic generation of marshalling code which results in code that is fast and compact at the same time. The key insight behind our work is that certain types in an interface specification occur more often than others at run-time. We exploit this locality to solve a particularily difficult optimization problem in stub generators, namely the trade-off between c...

Among the micro-logistic transport systems, railway stations should be highlighted, such as one of most important infrastructure elements. The efficiency industry a whole depends on quality their operation. Such systems have complex multi-level structure, and incoming traffic flow often has stochastic character. It is known that effective approach to study operation mathematical modeling. Earli...

Railway yard is the basic composition unit of railways, therefore, the efficiency and quality of railway yard design have a crucial effect on the construction and operation of railways. Plane design is the basis and core of railway yard design, consequently, it is significant to research plane design of railway yard. In this study, through analysis and summary of the research status as well as ...
