Determinants of safe and productive truck driving: empirical evidence from long-haul cargo transport
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)
Using GPS data of 370 long-haul trips in India, survey data of 49 truck drivers, and ERP data, this study examines the role of driver personality characteristics in predicting risky and productive driving. The results show ...
A multi-tier linking approach to analyze performance of autonomous vehicle-based storage and retrieval systems
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017-06-23)
To improve operational flexibility, throughput capacity, and responsiveness in order fulfillment operations, several distribution centers are implementing autonomous vehicle-based storage and retrieval system (AVS/RS) in ...
Optimal stack layout in a sea container terminal with automated lifting vehicles
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017)
Container terminal performance is largely determined by its design decisions, which include the number and type of quay cranes, stack cranes, transport vehicles, vehicle travel path and stack layout. We investigate the ...
Estimating performance in a robotic mobile fulfillment system
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)
This paper models Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems and analyzes their performance. A Robotic Mobile Fulfillment System is an automated, parts-to-picker storage system where robots bring pods with products to a workstation. ...
A stochastic model for the throughput analysis of passing dual yard cranes
(Elsevier, 2017-11-14)
New container terminal technologies such as passing dual yard cranes per stack promise increase in stacking throughput capacity. However, dual yard cranes can interfere, which reduces the cranes’ throughput capacity. Using ...
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 ...
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 ...
