Simulation Process Design for Scheduling Mode of Railway Container Terminals based on Flexsim

Rail mounted gantry cranes (RMGCs) are the key resources of railway container terminals. In this paper, in order to improve the operation efficiency of rail mounted gantry crane and reduce the waiting time of container trains and trucks, rail mounted gantry crane is taken as the research object, and the operation scheduling mode of rail mounted gantry crane is taken as the research point. Based on Flexsim, a 3D simulation platform is built to simulate different operation scheduling modes of rail mounted gantry crane in railway container central station. Next, assuming data and setting evaluation indexes, different loading-unloading modes are compared by simulation. Finally, the optimal mode is selected by analysing the data.
