Increased customer demands have taken substantial effect on the formation of strategies for container terminal operations and in turn became important for performance evaluation of container terminals. This s...

This paper addresses the applications of different techniques for solving container terminals problems. We have built a simulation model that can be used to analyze the performance of container terminal operations. The proposed approach is intended to be applied for a real case study in Alexandria Container Terminal (ACT) at Alexandria port. The implementation of our approach shows that a propo...

In this paper efficient in time methods for support decision-making processes in small container terminal operated by reachstackers are proposed. Two main problems are considered: first, minimization the number of loading/unloading operations between container trains and bays, second, minimization the number of re-handing operations within container bays. in Gliwice, Poland to model the problem...

Since the last two decades, container transportation system has been faced under increasing development. This fact shows the importance of container transportation system as a key role of container terminals to link between sea and land. Therefore, there is a continuous need for the optimal use of equipment and facilities in the ports. Regarding the complex structure of container ports, this pa...

An overview of literature is conducted on research focusing on improving the performance of container terminals. The growth of containerization has led to numerous decision problems for container terminal management to consider in operating their container terminals more efficiently, e.g. where to place a ship along a quay, scheduling the resources to work a ship, etc. The research papers revie...

bus rapid transit is an innovative, high capacity, lower cost public transit solution in metropolitan cities. idea is to dedicate lanes for quick and efficient transport of passengers to their destinations. in the present investigation the environmental impact assessment of bus rapid transit  in tehran metropolitan city is brought out. for this purpose bus rapid transit lane no. 10 is investiga...

the exponential growth of urbanization leads to increase in severity of environmental problemsespecially assonated with disposal of solid waste. with considering the increasing rate of solid waste generation in urban area, the problem of availability of space required to dispose it off is become a concern for planners and administrators of urban local bodies (ulb). in order to cope up with the ...

Abstract The container revolution in the last decades of 20th century determined arise ports. They further evolved so-called third-generation ports, becoming generators value added due to manipulation goods transit. increase ports is amplified core connected TEN-T/RFC corridors, where Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and three pillars smartness (ICT, Transport Energy) are present. paper deals with...

The paper considers the problem of optimal redistribution transit container flows on railway network. is proposed to be solved as a multi-commodity flow minimum cost using relaxation method. method allows choosing most efficient variant next solution at each iteration step. To search for distribution network, graph theory was used, i.e., network presented multigraph with set vertices and arcs, ...

The Northeast Passage (NEP) has always been an attractive transport alternative for trade between Northwest Europe and Asia due to its shorter distance. While a growing body of literature addresses the economic technical viability NEP transit shipping, there is still need increased knowledge on features maritime regions that could potentially use route. This study aimed propose conceptual model...
