{"product_id":"container-handling-in-automated-yard-filip-covic-9783030052904","title":"Container Handling in Automated Yard Blocks: An Integrative Approach Based on Time Information","description":"The yard block of a container terminal is the central point of synchronisation for asynchronous container flows between deep-sea vessels and transport to the hinterland. The structure of the block stipulates that containers are stacked on top of each other with only the topmost container directly accessible by a yard crane. This book describes a holistic and integrative approach to container handling in yard blocks to optimise productivity by minimising re-handling operations. The results provide insights for academic scholars as well as for experts from practical terminal planning and operations. The approach presented is two-fold: first, a theoretical foundation of the interdependencies in decision-making is established using mathematical programming. Secondly, operations involving uncertain container arrival information are examined on the basis of a simulation with a rigorous experimental design and statistical evaluation. In this context, the book develops container-handling strategies and analyses the impact of a system for vehicle arrival management - the \"Terminal Appointment System\". The findings presented in this book are the result of a close cooperation with experts at the port of Hamburg and build on previous research. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Filip Covic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030052907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030052904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Filip Covic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491649450239,"sku":"9783030052904","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14cee7ac-6ddc-4662-a4c3-5ea4c80c65d2.jpg?v=1699452424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/container-handling-in-automated-yard-filip-covic-9783030052904","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
