Abstract

One of the important tactical problems for the efficient operation of container terminals is to determine the usage of storage space There are two different strategies for stacking containers; mixing strategy, in which outbound containers and inbound containers are mixed in the same block, and segregating strategy, in which outbound containers and inbound containers are stacked in blocks different from each other The performance of space allocation strategies also depends on the types of handling equipment in the yard and the number of handling equipment allocated to each block. A simulation model is developed considering various handling characteristics of yard cranes. Performances of various space and equipment allocation strategies are evaluated by using the simulation model.

컨테이너 터미널에서의 효율적인 운영을 위한 장치장 운용계획은 터미널 생산성을 향상 짓는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 장치장 운용 시 고려되는 의사결정 요소들을 살펴보고 그 대안을 제시하였다. 의사결정 요소는 크게 두 가지로 장치 장에 컨테이너 저장 시 고려되는 블록의 용도구분에 관한 것과 각 블록에 할당하는 RMGC(Rail Mounted Gantry Crane) 야드 크레인의 대수를 결정하는 것이다. 각 요소 별 제시되는 대안은 시뮬레이션기법을 통하여 평가해 보고자 한다.
