A cooperative quay crane-based stochastic model to estimate vessel handling time
(Springer, 2017)
Having a good estimate of a vessel’s handling time is essential for planning and scheduling container terminal resources, such as berth positions, quay cranes (QCs) and transport vehicles. However, estimating the expected ...
Solving semi-open queuing networks with time-varying arrivals: an application in container terminal landside operations
(Elsevier, 2018-06-16)
Semi-open queuing networks (SOQNs) are widely applied to measure the performance of manufacturing, logistics, communications, restaurant, and health care systems. Many of these systems observe variability in the customer ...
Sea container terminals: new technologies and OR models
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2015)
Owing to a rapid growth in world trade and a large increase in the flow of containerized goods, sea container terminals play a vital role in globe-spanning supply chains. Container terminals should be able to handle large ...
A stochastic model for interterminal container transportation
(INFORMS, 2017)
We propose a novel semiopen queuing network (SOQN) model for the interterminal transportation (ITT) problem where multiple container terminals use a common
fleet of vehicles (automated lift vehicles, automated guided ...
Worth the wait? How restaurant waiting time influences customer behavior and revenue
(ScienceDirect, 2018)
In many service industries, customers have to wait for service. When customers have a choice, this waiting may influence their service experience, sojourn time, and ultimately spending, reneging, and return behavior. Not ...
