Maximizing Port and Transportation System Productivity by Exploring Alternative Port Operation Strategies
项目名称: Maximizing Port and Transportation System Productivity by Exploring Alternative Port Operation Strategies
摘要: The ultimate objective of this project is to explore solutions for maximizing both port and freight industry productivity with better visibility, understanding, and measure of their operations and interactions. These interactions will include the gate queue behavior and communication (e.g. container arrival time) between the port and the freight industry. A video-based sensing system will be developed to provide better visibility of gate operations and activities (e.g. truck waiting time and characteristics of the queued trucks). By collaborating with the port and freight industry's decision-makers about their processes and operations (e.g. freight dispatching and management), we will have a better understanding of all port operations. A stochastic simulation model of the interaction between the port and freight industry to provide better visibility and understanding on their interactions will be developed. The research team will work with the port and the freight industry, including Home Depot, to study port operations and freight management performance measures and decision-making processes. Through the study, we hope to identify new processes and an information sharing platform between the freight industry and the port of Savannah that can lead to more productive truck arrivals.
