Yard Layout Optimization for General Cargo Terminal

doi:10.16182/j.issn1004731x.joss.20-0138

Abstract

Abstract: Yard layout is an important component of the port yard allocation decision which affects the cargo storage capacity and through capacity for the port yard. As to the general cargo yard, combined with the cargo type and the yard storage strategy, the yard layout optimization model for the general cargo terminal is presented based on the statistical analysis for the production data when the optimization aim is minimizing the total horizontal transport distance of the trailer. The yard layout optimization results are employed by the mathematical tool Gurobi for different storage strategies, and the yard layout optimization results are verified and analyzed by the general cargo terminal operation simulation model. The yard layout optimization simulation results of three different storage strategy methods show that compared with the practical production data, the arrival cargo quantities at port are respectively improved 4.34%, 2.96% and 3.44%, and depart cargo quantities from port are respectively improved 1.61%, 0.02% and 1.21%. The research results indicate that the yard layout optimization results can improve the handling capacity and the through capacity of the terminal.
