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 ...

Examining the Efficiency of Automation in Container Terminals
Journal of Transportation and Logistics, 2022 An increase in container traffic, larger tonnage of vessels, scarcity of port area, and shorter turnaround times have driven terminals to process more containers in less time and less space.

Priority rules for twin automated stacking cranes that collaborate [PDF]
Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2015 Propose 14 priority rules for twin Automated Storage Cranes (ASCs).Compare priority rules with optimal priority obtained with a Branch and Bound.Consider an exchange point for collaborating twin ASCs.Priority rules are simple and easy to implement in container terminals.Best priority rule finds average makespans within 1.3% of the optimal.

Deep Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Twin Automated Stacking Cranes Scheduling Problem
Electronics, 2023 Effective dynamic scheduling of twin Automated Stacking Cranes (ASCs) is essential for improving the efficiency of automated storage yards. While Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has shown promise in a variety of scheduling problems, the dynamic twin ASCs scheduling problem is challenging owing to its unique attributes, including the dynamic arrival ...

Optimizing container movements using one and two automated stacking cranes
Journal of Industrial & Management Optimization, 2009 Productivity of a sea port depends, in part, on stacking cranes working in blocks of its storage yard. Each container leaving a block must be moved by a storage-yard crane to a buffer zone during a specific time window so it can reach its destination on time.

Automated Stacking Crane Dispatching Strategy in a Container Terminal using Genetic Algorithm
Journal of Korean navigation and port research, 2012 In an automated container terminal, automated stacking cranes(ASCs) take charge of handling of containers in a block of the stacking yard. This paper proposes a multi-criteria strategy to solve the problem of job dispatching of twin ASCs which are identical to each another in size and specification. To consider terminal situation from different angles,
