Planning Approach for Dimensioning of Automated Traffic Areas at Seaport Container Terminals

In this article the quayside activities and layout of a modern container terminal are contemplated. The investigation particularly includes a comparison of two different automated operations systems regarding their space requirements: on the one hand, the

Preface

The Handbook of Terminal Planning is a collection of individual contributions that deal with selected issues in the context of the suprastructure planning of seaport container terminals. It thus has the character of an anthology in which chapters are contributed by an international authorship. Seaport container terminals form a bimodal or trimodal interface of water-, railand road-based transport systems. If the function of the interface is limited to a bimodal cross-linking of transportation systems, such terminals typically enable a connection of container sea transport in the main run with road transports in the preand on-carriage of the intermodal transport chain. The main tasks of terminal planning on the level of suprastructure comprise layout design, quantitative dimensioning of terminal resources and the derivation of requirements for single suprastructure elements considering given operator requirements for the entire terminal. Requirements engineering usually starts with the elaboration of (necessary) functional properties which are specified in the course of the planning process and are eventually ’translated’ into specific technical and processrelated requirements. In later project phases, the results of suprastructure planning form the basis for the equipment procurement process, construction measures and the commissioning of projected terminal structures. The success of suprastructure planning is primarily measurable by the extent elaborated planning results may create the necessary prerequisites so that (later) day-to-day operation fulfills existing requirements. The latt
