TL;DR: An in-depth overview of storage yard operations, including the material handling equipment used, is presented, and current industry trends and developments are highlights and new avenues for academic research are identified.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the concept of yard congestion quantitatively in the context of yard truck interruptions, and developed a combination of probabilistic and physics-based models for truck interruption.
Abstract: As a tactical-level plan, a yard template determines the assignment of spaces in a container port yard for arriving vessels. This paper investigates the concept of yard congestion quantitatively in the context of yard truck interruptions, and develops a combination of probabilistic and physics-based models for truck interruptions. The above work enables us to exactly evaluate the expected link travel time, which then acts as the basis for proposing a mixed-integer programming model that minimizes the total expected travel time of moving containers around the yard. A Squeaky Wheel Optimization based meta-heuristic is developed to solve the model. Experiments are also conducted to validate the effectiveness of the model and the solution method.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how urban form and socio-demographic factors affect the potential ecosystem service benefits people can gain via passive (e.g., climate regulation) and active pathways, and found that people who have higher nature relatedness may receive greater benefits from their yards via both passive and active means as they have more vegetation available to them in their yards and they interact with this space more frequently and for longer time periods.

TL;DR: Experimental results show that the framework is able to provide solutions for containers handling within much less storage space, while guarantee the least yard crane deployment, and satisfy the high-low workload balancing protocol to reduce traffic congestion in the yard.
