Design of container terminal operations is complex because multiple factors affect the operational performance. These factors include: topological constraints, a large number of design parameters and settings, and stochastic interactions that interplay among the quayside, vehicle transport, and...

Container terminal performance is largely determined by its design decisions, which include the number and type of quay cranes (QCs), stack cranes (SCs), transport vehicles, vehicle travel path, and stack layout. The terminal design process is complex because it is affected by factors such as...

Many intra-logistics systems, such as automated container terminals, distribution warehouses, and crossdocks observe parallel process flows, which involve simultaneous (parallel) operations of multiple independent resources while processing a job. Due to the unknown service time of the job,...

This study investigates the effect of safety-specific transformational leadership (SSTL) on the performance outcomes of safe driving and driving productivity in both long and short-haul truck cargo transport. We conduct our study in the context of a hazardous material (HAZMAT) Indian transport...

With the growth of ocean transport and with increasing vessel sizes, managing congestion at the landside of container terminals has become a major challenge. A terminal landside handles containers that arrive or depart via train or truck. Large terminals have to handle thousands of trucks and...

In the future, vehicle sharing systems will be unmanned, autonomous, and electric. In this paper, we design operating policies for sharing platforms with such vehicles. These platforms must decide which vehicle with which battery level should pick up which type of customer and which vehicle...

Platforms sharing autonomous electric vehicles have to decide which vehicle should pick up which type of customer and when vehicles should be recharged, based on remaining battery level and proximity to the charging station. We model and analyze this problem. To guarantee maximum service and...
