Integrated Dispatching Model of Automated Lifting Vehicles, Quay Cranes and Yard Cranes at Automated Container Terminal

Article Preview

Abstract:

Integration of various types of handling equipment is one of the important methods to improve the efficiency of processes and productivity of a container terminal. Using ALVs, because of their ability in lifting a container from the ground by themselves, can reduce the delay of loading and unloading tasks in automatic container terminals.In this paper, a mixed-integer programming model, which considers the integration of ALVs, Quay Cranes and Yard Cranes, is developed. This model minimizes the makespan of the loading and unloading activities in an Automatic Container Terminal with limited buffer spaces.
