4 FAQs about Two-way charging of folding containers at port terminals

How a port operator manage a container load/unloading task?

Facing numerous containers, a port operator needs to assign container loading/unloading tasks to AGVs, sequence the tasks for each AGV, and arrange the battery-charging or -swapping activities for the AGVs in a highly efficient manner, which affects the operational performance of the port and further impacts its annual throughput.

Can AGV charging be used in automated ports?

However, research on AGV charging in the context of automated ports is limited, often neglecting the interactions between different types of equipment such as quay cranes (QCs) and yard cranes (YCs). Additionally, the limited capacity of charging stations (CSs) is often overlooked.

Can AGVs handle fixed container transportation tasks in the shortest time?

This study innovatively proposes an AGV scheduling model that incorporates a resilient and adaptive charging strategy, adjusting the balance between vehicle charging and the completion of transportation tasks, enabling AGVs to complete fixed container transportation tasks in the shortest time.

What is the urgency of container tasks in terminal operations?

In practical terminal operations, the urgency of container tasks varies significantly and does not strictly adhere to the first-come, first-served principle; for instance, emergency containers for cold chains and relief supplies, among others, necessitate prioritized handling.
