In recent years, the scale of container transportation and the size of vessels are becoming larger and larger; development of automatic container cranes becomes a necessity. As a key function of automatic control of unmanned cranes, the optimum route can minimize the cycle time by calculating the most efficient combination of horizontal and vertical motions of container loading/unloading. In th...

Traditional container terminals usually use a horizontal yard layout, while automated vertical layout. The two types of layout perform differently in the vehicle travel routes, handling interface points vehicles and cranes, cranes routes. These differences result different indicators between such as utilization, average crane distance, overall terminal efficiency etc. This paper uses an analyti...

Alokasi belum optimal di Terminal Petikemas Banjarmasin merupakan salah satu permasalahan harus diselesaikan. Dalam upaya penyelesaian tersebut...

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 ...

The Layout of the Field Stacking containers is an important thing to consider because it can affect effectiveness loading and unloading process in field by arranging facilities stacking Yard including Rubber Gantry Crane (RTG) arrangement lane Head Truck. So, necessary research determining containers. design that will be made distance head truck travels transport from dock. In several studies, ...

With advancements of quay side equipments and technologies, the bottleneck of port operations has moved from quay side to yard side. The yard management of a port has significant influences on the competitiveness of a port in the global shipping network. The research area of yard management has attracted a lot of attentions from both the academia and the industrial practitioners. This paper giv...

Workers in ports work with and close proximity of heavy machinery. Quay cranes used for moving containers between ships the dockside yard are one most accident-prone equipment types. For picking up containers, these equipped spreaders, i.e. lifting devices which lowered down on top lock to them mechanically. We concerned here monitoring a quay crane spreader so as make sure that safe clearance ...

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...

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...
