1304 Double Container-handling Operation for Efficient Seaport Terminal Management

Abstract

For an efficient seapornerminal management ， we propose a novel opeTational mode 】 ， namely ． a double container − handling operatlon among opera ［ ing machines ， such as au 匸omated guided v 巳 hicles ( AGVs ) ， automated 1ransfer cranes ( ATCs ) ． and quay con 【 ainer cranes ( QCCs) ． In addi 重 iQn， a passing lane is provided in a container storage yard in order to activate lhe container − handhng operation performed by the AGVs and ATCs ． In this paper， the effect of the double container − handling Qperatio " and passing lane on the system utilizatien isexamined ． Finally ， the effectiveness of the proposed operational model with a passing lane is discussed on the basis of the operating time and obtained number ofoperating machines for a given demand in consideration of a mega − co コtainer terminal． Key Wor 日s： Double container handling， seaport terminal rnanagement ， automated guided vehlcle

An Intelligent Storage Determining Method for Inbound Containers in Container Terminals

“…A Double Container-handling Operation (DCO) model for efficient container horizontal transportation in terminals was (Hoshino et al, 2008). Following this model, its attempt to keep loaded when travelling between QCs in the quayside and YCs in the storage yard, hence the efficiency of horizontal transportation could be much higher than the traditional model.…”
