Positioning a Handshake Bay for Twin Stacking Cranes in an Automated Container Terminal Yard Block [PDF]
Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2022 At automated container terminals (ACTs), twin automated stacking cranes (ASCs) can carry out the tasks—store and retrieve containers simultaneously in a yard block using a handshake bay, where a primary ASC stacks the container at the handshake bay and ...
