Possibility of using artificial intelligence methods for truck appointment systems at container terminals
Various mechanisms have been developed in different parts of the world to reduce emis-sions and congestion in front of container terminals. In Europe and the USA, so-called Truck Appointment Systems (TAS), in which truck drivers have to reserve a time slot in advance at the relevant container terminal for delivery, have become particularly popular. The use of artificial intelligence methods offers the opportunity to further improve these systems. [more]
Development of a concept for linking vessel-dependent time windows with truck appointment systems
Various mechanisms have been developed in different parts of the world to reduce emis-sions and congestion in front of container terminals. In Europe and the USA, for example, so-called Truck Appointment Systems (TAS) have become established, whereby truck drivers must reserve a time slot in advance at the relevant container terminal for delivery.

Examining Challenges in Maritime Training and Integrating VR/MR Technologies
The maritime industry plays a vital role in global trade and transport and relies on well-trained personnel to ensure safe and efficient operations. However, the training sector faces numerous challenges that impact on workforce development and overall industry performance. This thesis aims to analyse and synthesise existing literature on the use of VR/MR in maritime training, identifying key challenges, benefits and best practices for implementation. [more]
Comparative Analysis of Storage Strategies at Intermodal (Containers and Trailers) Terminals
Inland ports with intermodal terminals are crucial nodes in the logistics and supply chain networks, facilitating the seamless transfer of goods between different transportation modes, including rail, road, and sea. Efficient storage strategies at these terminals, are essential for optimizing space utilization, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing costs. [more]
Comparative Analysis of Trailer Storage Strategies at Inland Ports
Efficient storage strategies are critical for optimizing operations at inland ports, particularly those with trailer terminals. These strategies influence operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and service quality. [more]
