In this study, an Internet Protocol(IP)-based integrated network management system(INMS) that can be managed on site and remotely was designed. To derive the requirements for an offshore plant INMS, the status of the offshore plant-related industries was analyzed, and the structure and functions of the system were designed by referring to the actual ship-owner specifications and shipbuilding ya...

Agent-based models are increasingly being used to simulate and analyze various transportation problems, from traffic flow [15] to air traffic control [1]. One transportation industry that has not received as much attention from the multi-agent systems community is seaport container terminals. It can be argued that the operations that take place at a container terminal are as complex as that of ...

This paper represents a first step towards the development of two-phase CFD methods for small and large scale ship hydrodynamic applications. Two-phase level set approaches are being implemented in CFDShip-Iowa to extend the modeling capabilities of the current version 4 along with complementary experiments for validation. The experiments are conducted in an open channel flume using bottom moun...

In the near future, container ports will no longer be able to expand into the surrounding land and will thus be unable to meet the storage requirements due to the boom in world trade. A solution to this problem is to increase the container throughput of the port by reducing the amount of time necessary to load and unload a ship. This paper presents distributed agent architecture to achieve this...

Automotive roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) transportation is an efficient and competitive method for the large-scale transshipment of commercial cars. However, low-efficiency operations insufficient storage resources automotive Ro-Ro terminals have constrained development transportation. This paper investigates location assignment problem (SLAP) arrival cars at yard, it aims to improve ship-loading ef...

This paper presents a generic simulation model to determine the equipment mix (quay, yard and intra-terminal transfer) for Container Terminal Logistics Operations System (CTLOS). The CTLOS, typical type of discrete event dynamic system (DEDS), consists three sub-models: ship queue, loading-unloading operations yard-gate operations. is empirically applied phase 1 Yangshan Deep Water Port in Shan...

The composite backscattering of the ship model on sea surface is investigated with the spilling breaking waves and ship bow waves. The spilling breakers are approximately modeled with the wedge-like waves, and the ship bow waves are simulated based on the Kelvin model. With the modified four-path model, each scattering component is evaluated with the high frequency approximation methods for the...
