A Simulation Model for Intra-terminal Transport of Container Terminal Operations System
The research is based on investigating and studying various real container terminals operations systems.Firstly,intra-terminal transport is defined in the container terminal operations system that is a discrete event dynamic system and its entities,events,activities and process are analyzed.Secondly,based on identifying the various congestions,the simulation model is proposed.The cycle-time consists of the four stochastic variables: the non-stop traveling time of the cycle,the waiting time at berth,the waiting time at yard,and the abnormal waiting time in a cycle due to congestion or operations management.Finally,Container Terminals of Phase I of Shanghai Yangshan Port and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Container Terminal are chosen as a case to study how to determine the quay-yard cycle time and the operation-line productivities in the quay-yard cycle for a planning terminal that has not been established.This research indicates that this simulation model for intra-terminal transport can be applicable to any of the five typical container-terminal handling systems and the empirical equation obtained in case study can make sense for the simulation model for inter-terminal transport.
