Maritime transportation plays a critical role in global trade as it accounts for over 80% of all merchandise movement. Given the growing volume maritime freight, is vital to have an efficient system handling ships and cargos at ports. The current first-come-first-serve method insufficient maintaining operational efficiency, especially under complicated conditions such parallel scheduling with d...

Because of the deltaic nature Netherlands, deep soft soil deposits are widespread. Due to population density exploitation underground space is vital for commercial developments and transport networks. Piles used as primary support elements in excavations, cut cover tunnels, quay walls, flood defences provide uplift resistance base tunnels basements. This paper examines empirical correlations li...

An important objective of all schedules in a port is to minimize turnaround time of vessels. An operation schedule for Quay Cranes (QCs) can significantly affect the turnaround time of a vessel. Recently dual cycling techniques have already been used for reducing the number of operation cycles of QCs in some advanced container terminals. This study attempts to minimize the number of operation c...

The motivation behind this project is to implement a data stream processing system based on the QUAY system [1]. The prototype called QUAY-FPGA will consist of configurable hardware and software written in the Handel-C language and compiled using the DK design suite [2]. It will be demonstrated that query throughput can be improved by managing memory access patterns and increasing execution par...
