Dispatching Automated Guided Vehicles in a Container Terminal

Abstract: Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are increasingly becoming the popular mode of container transport in seaport terminals. These unmanned vehicles are used to transfer containers between ships and storage locations on land. The efficiency of a container terminal is directly related to the amount of time each vessel spends in the port. Hence to maintain competitive advantage and increase the efficiency of the container terminal it is necessary to determine the appropriate number of AGVs to deploy, and formulate g… Show more

“…The time constants will be loosely based on the test cases mentioned in [4], [20] and [2].τ c , the time required by the cranes to handle each container, will be 75 seconds for all cycles taking place at a QC, and 100 seconds for all cycles taking place at a stacking crane (SC).τ ∆ , the time required to transfer a container between a crane and a vehicle, will be 30 seconds for all cycles. In practice most vehicles will have a higher maximal speed than 3 m/s.…”
