Abstract

The reduction of pollutant emissions due to the truck operations in a maritime terminal is the objective of this work. The proposed approach is firstly based on a suitable prediction method developed by the authors and aimed at forecasting the number of trucks reaching the terminal to bring export containers in each day of a specified time interval. Once that the curve of truck arrivals is predicted, an emission model is adopted to evaluate the corresponding pollutant emissions. As a result, it is possible to verify in advance whether at certain days the overall emissions overcome a critical threshold. If this happens, it is needed to redistribute the truck arrivals in order to maintain emissions as close as possible to the threshold. This is optimally done by stating and solving an optimization problem whose solutions are tested in the case study of export flows in the PSA Genova Pra’ (PSA GP) terminal.

通过优化卡车到达减少港口码头的排放峰值

这项工作的目标是减少海运码头卡车作业造成的污染物排放。所提出的方法首先基于作者开发的一种合适的预测方法，旨在预测指定时间间隔内每天到达码头运载出口集装箱的卡车数量。一旦预测出卡车到达的曲线，就可以采用排放模型来评估相应的污染物排放量。因此，可以提前验证某些天的总排放量是否超过临界值。如果出现这种情况，就需要重新分配到达的卡车数量，以便使排放量尽可能接近临界值。要做到这一点，需要说明并解决一个优化问题，并在 PSA Genova Pra' (PSA GP) 货运站出口流量的案例研究中对该问题的解决方案进行测试。
