Abstract

Abstract: To analyze the new U-layout effect on the handling operation efficiency in automated container terminal, the U-automated container terminal simulation model is established by FlexTerm software to visualize the handling operation process. The traditional automated terminal simulation model is established to compare the working efficiency under different working modes. The working ability of terminal handling equipment such as AGV（Automated Guided Vehicle）, yard cranes and rail-mounted gantry cranes are compared by simulation tests. Simulation results show that due to the creation of yard layout and handling technology, the superiority of U-layout is proved when the working efficiency of each handling equipment has been improved compared with the traditional automated container terminal, which improves a reasonable handling equipment configurations can also improve the operation efficiency in U-terminal.
