Abstract

Abstract: Container terminals with dual-rail transport trolley and hollow track layout (CTTH) are novel concept, for which a simulation model is developed with stochastic Petri nets. The simulation realization is discussed using Plant Simulation platform. A CTTH simulation system is developed to analyze its operational efficiency and parameter effects. Experiments show that CTTHs are more efficient than container terminals with automated RMGs. The study findings are helpful reference for the simulation models of automated container terminal and CTTH developments.

Key words: automated container terminal, simulation model, dual-rail transport trolley, hollow track layout, simulation analysis, petri nets
