Performance Analysis of A Shuttle Carrier at Automated Container Terminal

The purpose of this paper is to analyze transport ability of AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) and SHC(SHuttle Carrier). The main difference between two types of transport vehicles is that AGV depends on container crane or transfer crane to do loading/unloading container, but SHC is very independent to it. Therefore, the transport ability of SHC is expected to be higher than AGV. So, in this paper, we established simulation model to evaluate two types of transport vehicles and analyzed the results. Simulation model was established to automated container terminal with perpendicular yard layout, and applied closed loop operation of transport vehicle between apron and stacking yard. In the result, SHC showed very superior than AGV aspect of container crane productivity and vehicle fleets.
