This article studies the transfer flow template planning problem in seaport railway terminals and proposes a multi-objective model. The results of the experiments show that the optimized flow template can maximize throughput and stacking imported containers in blocks near the seaside can reduce operation costs and time consumption. Moreover, the location of on-dock rails significantly influences the yard template.
With the construction of on-dock rails, the terminal has become an interface between the maritime transport network and the railway transport network. Terminal operators are facing some new challenges like more complicated terminal operations and the scarcity of storage spaces. To address this issue, the managers should improve the operation efficiency of terminals by adjusting the yard templates and equipment deployment plan, which has not been well studied. To fill this gap, we study the transfer flow template planning problem in seaport railway terminals, and a multi-objective model that integrates the decisions on flow volume, yard template, and equipment deployment plan is proposed. Then, a group of numerical experiments is conducted using Ningbo Beilun Container Terminal as an example to analyze the effect of different management objectives, the pattern of yard template, and the influence of handling capacities. The results show that the optimized flow template performs well when using maximizing throughput as the primal objective. It also reports that stacking imported containers in the blocks near the seaside could help to reduce the operation cost and time consumption of the terminal. Moreover, the location of on-dock rails shows a significant influence on the yard template.
