Abstract: |
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 characteristics of yard layout and
present the logical model of container yard operation with rubber-tired gantry
cranes and trucks. Then, a 3D simulation model of yard operation is
implemented, which includes model setup module, container terminal layout
module, horizontal transport module, yard operation module, statistics
analysis module, and 3D amination module. Finally,
the implemented model is applied in practice to examine the impact of
reshuffle operation, and the numbers of internal trucks and yard cranes on
the efficiency of yard operation. And the results show the proposed
simulation model performs well and is helpful for exploring yard operation
effectively. |
