Event-driven receding horizon control for energy-efficient container handling

摘要: Abstract The performance of container terminals needs to be improved adapt the growth containers while maintaining sustainability. This paper provides a methodology for determining trajectory interacting machines that transport between quayside area and stacking in an automated terminal. behaviors are modeled as combination discrete-event dynamics continuous-time dynamics. An event-driven receding horizon controller (RHC) is proposed achieving energy efficient handling. underlying control problems hereby formulated collection small optimization solved way. Simulation studies illustrate consumption handling can indeed reduced by methodology. Moreover, assessment made RHC under different types uncertainties.
