This article deals with the extremely difficult problem faced by a large number of smaller ports: how to enable small container terminals simultaneously receive two ships post-Panamax size, and at same time provide effective transshipment operations on an individual terminal subsystem, which would fast turnaround ship in port possibility increase annual traffic. For this purpose, simulation app...

The continuous berth allocation and quay crane assignment problem considers the size of berths ships, number cranes, dynamic ships non-crossing constraints cranes. In this work, a mixed-integer linear programming model is established, aiming at minimizing total stay time delay penalty ships. To solve model, separated into discrete segments via proposed discretization strategy. Thereafter, large...

Decision makers must face the dynamism and uncertainty of real-world environments when they need to solve the scheduling problems. Different incidences or breakdowns, for example, initial data could change or some resources could become unavailable, may eventually cause the infeasibility of the obtained schedule. To overcome this issue, a robust model and a proactive approach are presented for ...

In this paper we integrate at the tactical level two decision problems arising in container terminals: the berth allocation problem, which consists of assigning and scheduling incoming ships to berthing positions, and the quay crane assignment problem, which assigns to incoming ships a certain QC profile (i.e. number of quay cranes per working shift). We present two formulations: a mixed intege...

INTRODUCTION Injuries and fatalities due to large truck and other vehicle crashes have decreased over the last decade, but motor vehicle injuries remain a leading cause of death for both the working and general populations. The present study was undertaken to determine semi truck driver and sleeper berth passenger injury risk in a moving semi truck collision using a matched-pair cohort study. ...
