Title: Simulation and Optimization of Container Terminal Logistics System:an Overview
Abstract: To save money and to meet the demand of container transportation effectively by shortening the docking time of ships and using resources(human resources,berths,yards and handling equipments) efficiently,in recent years,designers and mangers of container terminals have increasingly used simulation and optimization techniques in decision-making process of container terminal logistics systems.Simulation and optimization techniques of container terminal logistics systems were summarized.For various problems of container terminal planning and management,an overview of relevant literature was presented.Based on an analysis of classified problems in current applied researches,the development tendency of future simulation and optimization techniques of container terminal logistics systems was pointed out and some subjects for further research were given.
