Routing control strategy for vehicle congestion in a container terminal

When a small number of narrow paths are provided for many vehicles in a container yard, we put forward the idea of path-resource-oriented study, and introduce the Euler method for the routing control of vehicles.The Euler factor, distance factor and route-choosing factor are presented.By this method, we can predict paths in congestion and in passage-clear, so that a short and through path can be selected for the traveling vehicle.Experimental results show that both the congestion time and the total operational time can be reduced significantly.
