Inventory based dispatching of automated guided vehicles on container terminals
Briskorn, Dirk; Drexl, Andreas; Hartmann, Sönke - 2005
This paper deals with automated guided vehicles (AGVs) which transport containers between the quai and the stack on automated container terminals. The focus is on the assigment of transportation jobs to AGVs within a terminal control system operating in real time. First, we describe a rather...

A general framework for scheduling equipment and manpower on container terminals
Hartmann, Sönke - 2002
In this paper, we propose a general model for various scheduling problems that occur in container terminal logistics. The scheduling model consists of the assignment of jobs to resources and the temporal arrangement of the jobs subject to precedence constraints and sequence-dependent setup...

Influence of drayage patterns on truck appointment systems
Lange, Ann-Kathrin; Kühl, Kristof Ole; Schwientek, … - 2018
Truck appointment systems (TAS) are a well-recognized method to smooth the peaks in truck arrivals at seaport container terminals and thereby reduce operation costs for the terminals and waiting times for trucking companies. This study analyzes the influence of different drayage patterns on the...
