A Design Method of Yard Layout in Port Container Terminal

Yong-Seok Choi, Tae-Young Ha

Abstract

This paper proposes a method lor designing layout on the yard and evaluating alternative designs of the layout by applying simulation. The design method is based on the concepts of the conventional port container terminal with yard layout. In general, yard design of the container terminal consists of the two major parts. One is to divide yard area between the number of sections and runs and the other is to decide the number of equipment including yard truck and yard crane. In the past days, this design was depended on the experience of the terminal operator and the reproduction of the conventional terminal layout because it is a very complex problem to be considering facilities and equipments. In this paper, we suggest a design method as a conceptual procedure used simulation method. The number of sections and runs on yard area, the number of yard truck per container crane, and the number of yard crane per run are decided using simulation. In addition, the traffic flow among blocks on yard layout is estimated in terms of rate.
