Abstract

Abstract: As development of the precision management in the container terminal, close attention was paid to the research on the optimization of the marshalling yard template. The new concept called the yard dispersion in the container yard template was proposed and the professional simulation software Flexsim-CT was used to build a container handling simulation model which includes berth, quay crane, yard scheduling, yard crane, and trucks. The impact of the different yard dispersion on the total handling time and the efficiency of the quay crane under varying service burden was analyzed. The case study combines the simulation model with the real production data from the Yangshan port, the result shows that the yard dispersion having a great influence on the yard scheduling and the following operations. Some advices are also proposed to the port enterprise to improve their works.
