| 摘要： | This paper presents a technical and economic feasibility study of vehicle automation for a major U.S. seaport, Virginia Port Authority's Norfolk International Terminals (NIT). As in most ports, the movement of freight containers by truck within NIT is labor intensive and expensive. Automating container movement within the port by automating the vehicles (yard tractors) that haul them would significantly reduce operating costs and better equip the port to handle growing freight volumes. A proposed technical approach for automation is presented for NIT, along with an estimate of associated costs and benefits. As a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored program, the principal motivation for this work is the advancement of Advanced vehicle control systems (AVCS), to enhance highway operations and safety. As will be described, systems developed for a port application could have relevance for highways as well. With a relatively controlled and low- speed operating environment, the seaport could serve as an excellent proving ground for future vehicle control systems in advance of highway deployment. |
