Smart container port development: recent technologies and research advances

Abstract

Abstract Smart port construction projects have gradually emerged worldwide in recent years, owing to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Cloud, and the Internet of Things. However, for the advantages and limitations of smart port project construction technology and construction methods, people temporarily lack a systematic understanding and summary. In this paper, by checking the number of publications, geographical distribution and keyword cluster distribution, the research status and technical progress of the development of smart container ports are comprehensively reviewed from three aspects: port data acquisition technology, facilities and equipment, and intelligent decision-making. The research conclusions can provide references for the development of smart container ports and guide the future development of smart container ports.
