In this paper, we study the impact of using a new intelligent vehicle technology on the performance and total cost of a European port, in comparison with existing vehicle systems like trucks. Intelligent autonomous vehicles (IAVs) are a new type of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) with better maneuverability and a special ability to pick up/drop o containers by themselves. To identify the most economical eet size for each type of vehicle to satisfy the port's performance target, and also to compare their impact on the performance/cost of container terminals, we developed a discrete-event simulation model to simulate all port activities in micro-level (low-level) details. We also developed a cost model to investigate the present values of using two types of vehicle, given the identi ed eet size. Results of using the di erent types of vehicles * Co-rst authors. These authors contributed equally to this work. Given the best con guration and eet size as identi ed by the simulation, we use the developed cost model to estimate the total cost needed for each type of vehicle to meet the performance target. Finally, we study the performance of the case study port with advanced real-time vehicle dispatching/scheduling and container placement strategies. This study reveals that the case study port can greatly bene t from upgrading its current vehicle dispatching/scheduling strategy to a more advanced one.

Abstract. The presented paper addresses the problem of detecting and tracking moving objects for autonomous cargo handling in port terminals using a perception system which input data is a single layer laser scanner. A computationally low cost and robust Detection and Tracking Moving Objects (DATMO) algorithm is presented to be used in autonomous guided vehicles and autonomous trucks for efficient transportation of cargo in ports. The method first detects moving objects and then tracks them, taking into account that in port terminals the structure of the environment is formed by containers and that the moving objects can be trucks, AGV, cars, straddle carriers and people among others. Two approaches of the DATMO system have been tested, the first one is oriented to detect moving obstacles and focused on tracking and filtering those detections; and the second one is focused on keepking targets when no detections are provided. The system has been evaluated with real data obtained in the CTT port terminal in Hengelo, the Netherlands. Both methods have been tested in the dataset with good results in tracking moving objects.

The economic relevance of ports is related to the flows of goods they can handle and move, and it is strongly related to economic development. Due to trends in increasing port size, the effect of port size on economies of scale, and the tendency to bundle demand and operations into very large ports, port equipment and its management is becoming crucial for a port's efficiency. This article reviews the equipment and technology used at ports, with a major focus on containerized and dry bulk transport. An outlook over the future of port equipment points out their efficient management, with a clear trend for increasing support from information–communication technology and automation. This happens at the level of individual machines, as well as at the level of stakeholders (community systems). Via the intelligent interaction of technology and equipment in a coherent integrated system, efficient inter‐ and intraterminal operations can be achieved.
