Research on the Method of Storage Planning for the Large-Scale Container Yard

Abstract

The high growth of the throughput in Shanghai port lead to the huge demand of collection and distribution of containers in Yangshan port. In order to satisfy the logistics demand, a huge container yard is presented to undertake the storage of the import and export containers for the Yangshan port. The layout design and the intelligent Storage Decision Method base the Dynamic Traffic Saturation (SDM-DTS) is presented in this paper. The definition of the traffic saturation of the roads and crossing is given and the detail algorithm of the SDM-DTS is presented. The simulation experiments are designed to prove that the presented SDM-DTS method is good at balancing the traffic saturation and the workload of the yard blocks.
