Research on Simulation Optimization of Container Terminal’s Machinery Configuration

Abstract

Abstract: The optimization of the machinery allocation under the double constraints of maximized efficiency for loading and unloading processes and optimal machinery usage, and the optimal configuration of bridge cranes under discrete operation modes for a single ship were instigated through modeling with the simulation software Extendsim. It was found that the real-time recording method is a more straightforward and convenient way to investigate the optimal mechanical configuration and double constraints lead to different but more reasonable results than that was obtained under the single constraint on the best mechanical configuration. Due to the discrete characteristics of the bridge crane operation, the averaging treatment has an important influence on the efficiency and such impact becomes stronger with higher discreteness. This simulation work offers valuable references for machinery configuration of container terminals.
