A significant proportion of worker fatalities within Australia result from truck-related incidents. Truck drivers face a number of health and safety concerns. Safety culture, viewed here as the beliefs, attitudes and values shared by an organisation's workers, which interact with their surrounding context to influence behaviour, may provide a valuable lens for exploring safety-related behaviour...

With the rapid growth of global container trade volume and trend large-scale ships. The collection distribution port efficiency capacity terminals in various countries are facing huge challenges. Due to randomness most trucks entering port, often face problem traffic congestion caused by centralized arrival load operation yard equipment. Therefore, terminal operators urgently need manage optimi...

A simulation model of a log transport logistics network was developed. The model could be structured to either share truck capacity among a group of loggers, or to assign a fixed number of trucks to individual loggers. Another variation of the model allowed the use of a staging yard to set out loaded trailers and deliver them to destinations using dedicated shuttle trucks that operated continuo...

Maritime container terminals are facilities where cargo containers are transshipped between ships and land vehicles. These terminals involve a large number of complex and combinatorial problems. One of the important problems is related to the Container Stacking Problem. A container stack is a type of temporary store where containers await further transport by truck, train or vessel. The main ef...

Managing the container yard operations can be challenging as a result of various uncertainties associated with storing and retrieving containers from yard. These occur because arrival truck to pick up is random, so departure time unknown. The problem investigated in this paper emerges when newly arrived different sizes, types weights require storage operation same where other have already been ...

Many governments worldwide have imposed hours of service regulations for truck drivers to ensure that break and rest periods are regularly taken. Transport companies have to take these into account and plan the routes and schedules of their truck drivers simultaneously. This problem is called vehicle routing and truck driver scheduling problem (VRTDSP). With their paper “An exact method for veh...

Simulation is an effective means when solving the design and operation problems in modern container terminals. Applying object-oriented discrete event system simulation method, and analyzing the technological process of loading and unloading as well as the operational management in modern container terminals, a simulation model was constructed to describe the whole operation system of container...

Container terminal (CT) operations are often bottlenecked by slow YC (yard crane) movements. PM (prime mover) queues in front of the YCs are common. Hence, efficient YC scheduling to reduce the PM waiting time is critical in increasing a CT’s throughput. We develop an efficient model for YC scheduling by taking into account realistic operational constraints such as inter-crane interference, fix...
