Abstract

The horizontal transport system of container terminal is responsible for the loading, unloading and transport of the containers inside the port, which means the container lorry dispatch is a quite complex task. Thus, how to improve the operation efficiency of the container lorry to the maximum extent has become the urgent need to increase the terminal´s productivity. Based on this, an optimization system of container lorry dispatch has been built through Visual Basic. Finally, applied to this system, an example has been optimized, and the dispatching result has been given.
