  1. 1. Stop to recharge will be a thing of the past

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Produktionsekonomi

    Author : Måns Hultin; Sebastian Palmqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Case study; Electric Road System; Ports; Container terminals; Electrification; Implementation compatibility; Closed-looped transportation systems; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Electric road systems can be defined as a system transferring energy from a road to an electric vehicle while the vehicle is in motion, either to power the vehicle’s movement or to charge its batteries. This thesis aimed to investigate how this relatively new technology of electric road systems could be implemented in a port. READ MORE

  3. 2. Extended Gate - Barriers and opportunities for intermodal improvements, a case study of Port of Gothenburg

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : David Hällgren; Erik Bengtsson; [2020-06-17]
    Keywords : Extended Gate; inland terminal; port supply chain integration;

    Abstract : Extended gate is an intermodal concept aiming to achieve improved transport efficiency in the hinterland through a more integrated model, compared to concepts that are currently in use, such as dry ports. Functionally it is an extension of the gated area of a port terminal into the hinterland in order to achieve operational efficiency for the supply chain actors and improve customer experience for cargo owners.

  4. 3. Solving Multiple Objective Optimization Problem using Multi-Agent Systems: A case in Logistics Management

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Venkata Sai Teja Pennada; [2020]
    Keywords : Multiple Objective Optimization Problem; Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II; Multi-agent systems; Multi-objective optimization model; Single-objective optimization model.;

    Abstract : Background: Multiple Objective Optimization problems(MOOPs) are common and evident in every field. Container port terminals are one of the fields in which MOOP occurs. In this research, we have taken a case in logistics management and modelled Multi-agent systems to solve the MOOP using Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II). READ MORE

  5. 4. Designing the Intermodal Multiperiod Transportation Network of a Logistic Service Provider Company for Container Management

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

    Author : Tobias Sahlin; [2016]
    Keywords : Supply chain; Distribution network; Repositioning; Intermodal transport; Sensitivity analysis.;

    Abstract : Lured by the promise of bigger sales, companies are increasingly looking to raise the volume of international trade. Consequently, the amount of bulk products carried in containers and transported overseas exploded because of the flexibility and reliability of this type of transportation. READ MORE

  6. 5. A Multi-agent Based Model for Inter Terminal Transportation

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datalogi och datorsystemteknik

    Author : Mubashir Iqbal; [2015]
    Keywords : Inter-terminal transportation; Container terminal; Automated guided vehicle; Agent-based modeling; Simulation;

    Abstract : Context: Due to an increase in inter-terminal transportation (ITT) volume within a container port; complexity of transportation processes between the terminals has also increased. Problems with the current way of handling ITT resources are expected to rise in the near future. READ MORE
