About This Book

A smart port is defined as a port that uses technologies such as big data, AI, and IoT to manage transportation and logistics services. Smart Port Management and Strategy covers the design, operation and applications of a smart port to improve capacity and productivity. The book has been written by the author from an operations management perspective with the aim of providing technical knowledge to readers on how to use technology for optimizing port performance. Key Features: - Eight key topics relevant to smart port management - Focus on calculations and technical operations - Guidance on OCR, RFID and sensor technologies for gates - Includes information about port performance measurement - Includes access to Korean Port MIS - Covers automation equipment such as AGV, ARMGC, and remote control QC - Includes port simulation, digitization strategies and financial analysis Smart Port Management and Strategy is the definitive resource for anyone, whether they are professionals in transportation services or students of civil engineering or operations management, who want to learn about smart ports and how they are managed.

Simulation Model of Smart Port



Nam-Kyu Park

Abstract

Most existing capacity models are based on the use of simulation, mathematical programming or queueing network models. Empirical formulas are used to calculate the berth, yard and gate capacities for a year. This method has often been used because of its simple measures of port capacity. However, empirical measures of port capacity have been criticized due to the volatility that can change the input value arbitrarily for the measure of port capacity.
Simulation models introduced in this chapter include berth, CY, gate and AGV operation. Berth simulation reproduces the process of ship call, waiting, berthing, unloading/loading, and departure of ships at the terminal through simulation. As a result of berth simulation, berth capacity, container throughput, the occupancy of berth, the number of calling ships, GBP, NBP, ship service time, the number of cranes per hour are derived.
Yard simulation keeps containers brought in from the gate, railroad, the mother ship, and feeder ship for container dwell time. After a certain period of time, they are taken out to the mother ship, feeder ship, gate and railroad. As a result of the yard simulation, the capacity of the yard and occupancy by container type are derived.
Gate simulation measures whether the number of designed gate lanes are appropriate, how many trucks are waiting at the gate and LSTP (Land Side Transfer Point), and what is the truck turnaround time.
AGV simulation proposes which method is appropriate through the performance of Lift-AGV and non-Lift-AGV. It also measures the AGV's performance on the number of blocks, which are the number of containers transported by AGV for an hour.
Keywords: AGV simulation, Berth simulation, Capacity simulation, Container terminal capacity, Gate simulation, Yard simulation.



1. INTRODUCTION

Simulation is the process of verifying whether the target performance can be achieved before port construction by imitating the phenomenon as it is. Simulation is essential in the process of planning a smart port. The performance measurement of ACT by simulation consists of four areas: berth, yard, gate and AGV.
When designing a berth, the berth simulation helps predict whether the planned berth system, such as the specification of berth and QCs, will be able to handle the expected ships and cargo. As the berth simulation can measure the vessel waiting ratio by the expected ships and container throughput, there is an advantage in that the service level of the current berth system is precisely grasped.
The goal of the yard simulation is to measure whether the planned yard facility has the capacity to handle the expected volume. Since the capacity of the yard is determined by TGS, tier, dwell time, peak factor, etc., it is possible to verify the current planning system.
Gate simulation is to che...
