With the rapid growth of global container trade volume and trend large-scale ships. The collection distribution port efficiency capacity terminals in various countries are facing huge challenges. Due to randomness most trucks entering port, often face problem traffic congestion caused by centralized arrival load operation yard equipment. Therefore, terminal operators urgently need manage optimi...

The proposed paper summarises the work done in WP4 of the EU sponsored RTD project TRAPIST. The needs of small to medium sized ports / terminals with 'multi-purpose' capability had to be addressed and the combination of: the absence of extensive IT support and how to deal with it, information flows to/from and within the terminal, cargo flows to/from and within the terminal and in association w...

A virtual cellular system, which was proposed recently to significantly reduce the transmit power of a mobile terminal while increasing frequency efficiency, consists of a central port and many distributed wireless ports. In this paper, wireless multi-hop communication is applied between central port and wireless ports and the cumulative distribution functions (cdfs) of the number of hops and t...

This paper has sorted out application and trend of Ambient Ubiquity Network, put forward the Network requirements construction principles for port digital twin applications combined with experience gained in process construction, provided overall framework universality, developed Exchange Software, conducted actual data access verification targeting at five-layer model based on micro-service te...

JNPT was established with the goal of creating a world-class port in India. Indeed, it clearly enjoyed an edge over other Indian ports with respect to both infrastructure and performance even in the pre-reforms period. However, it suffered from some of the inherent drawbacks ailing the Indian port sector that prevented it from achieving world standards in port efficiency. As the most modern amo...

The paper revisits port capacity providing a more holistic approach via including immediate port connections from the seaside and the hinterland. The methodology provided adopts a systemic approach encapsulating the different port terminals along with the seaside and hinterland connections providing a holistic estimation of port capacity. Capacity is defined with the use of two dimensions; stat...

This paper presents a novel multi-level hierarchical approach which models carrier interactions in international maritime freight transportation networks. Ocean carriers, land carriers and port terminal operators are considered. Port terminal operators, providing transportation services within a port complex, are regarded as a special type of the carrier, based on their behavior. The carriers m...

Although it has been only ten years in operations, Yantian International Container Terminals Limited (YICT) has evolved as a world-class container terminal and become the first Chinese port to receive the Best Global Container Port of the Year award for 2005–2006, as well as being designated China’s best container terminal in terms of operational efficiency for 2008. A success factor of YICT is...
