Study On The Configuration Of Quayside Container Crane At The Container Wharf Of Shanghai Port

Container wharf is a large system, in which wharf, container yard and quayside container crane are the three most important factors, and their proper configuration will determine the handling capacity and efficiency of the wharf...In the past, the study and design were centered on the interaction of the wharf and yard, while the crane was considered as stationary, passive and of secondary importance.Long-term practice shows that handling capacity can more directly and effectively demonstrated if the crane configuration is studied as primary parameter, while the size of yard, other supporting facilities and equipment could be subsequently determined.A preliminary research was conducted based on this concept, and no literature on this topic was found which slows my study progress.The relationship between some typical quayside container and wharf* over the world had been systematically studied in this thesis. Based on the analysis of the wharfing process, a tow-step approach was designed to configure the crane.In the first step, the maximum capacity of the crane was entirely analyzed by applying concept of statistics density, mathematical model was established for the configuration of crane comprising the utilization coefficient of crane and wharf. In the second step, The time of the crane configuration was entirely analyzed, utilization and efficiency were introduced and mathematical model was established for the crane configuration time.Meanwhile, zoned field operation data and wharf construction datat were used to verify the reliability of the above study.
