Disruption management for truck appointment system at a container terminal: A Green initiative
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider different levels of late or early arrivals, as well as non-appointed arrivals at a container terminal that is running an appointment system, and propose some response strategies to cope with different level of disruptions, and evaluate their resilience ability with two Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): total waiting time of on-time trucks and total idling emissions of all trucks, in order to balance the service quality to punctual arrivals and green performance of the whole system.

A Timed Petri Nets Model for Performance Evaluation of Intermodal Freight Transport Terminals
TL;DR: The proposed modeling framework is modular and based on timed Petri Nets, where places represent resources and capacities or conditions, transitions model inputs, flows, and activities into the terminal and tokens are intermodal transport units or the means on which they are transported.

A Multi-Agent Based Simulation Model for Rail–Rail Transshipment: An Engineering Approach for Gantry Crane Scheduling
Mohamed Nezar Abourraja,Mustapha Oudani,Mohamed Yassine Samiri,Dalila Boudebous,Abdelaziz El Fazziki,Mehdi Najib,Abdelhadi Bouain,Naoufal Rouky +7 more
TL;DR: A multi-agent simulation model including an improved strategy for crane scheduling inspired by the ant colony approach is proposed, which is very successful in significantly reducing unproductive times and moves and outperforms other existing simulation models based on the current organizational policy.

An Event-Triggered Receding-Horizon Scheme for Planning Rail Operations in Maritime Terminals
TL;DR: An event-triggered receding-horizon planning approach is proposed, in which the finite horizon optimization problem is solved whenever a critical event happens or the real values of some problem data significantly differ from the predicted ones.
