Abstract
Container logistics networks need their expansion and the improvement of their efficiency. For this purpose, the container handling carrying system should be optimized in terminals. Then, it is important to reduce the cycle time for container operation. The operation cycle time is effected by machine performance and the arrangement of containers in stacking yard. In this study, the optimum stacking method in the yard is constructed. As the first step, a stacking method based on fuzzy systems theory has been developed. The judgement of container weight and unloading terminal are treated logically for a container. And the optimum location of a container in stacking yard is decided. The container handling applied this stacking method and conventional ones was simulated. The speed and distance of load hoisting, travelling and traversing are considered in this simulation. As the result, this stacking method is superior to convensional ones in shipping operation time.
