20.500.12556/DKUM-84866 Simulated global empty containers repositioning using agent-based modelling Due to an ever-increasing movement of containers across the globe in line with the economic boom, the trade imbalance and issues related to empty containers have become inevitable. Empty containers accumulated at specific ports cannot only generate profit but also increase the environmental footprint. This research proposes a Maritime Empty Container Reposition Modelling Framework by integrating the agent-based modelling (ABM) paradigm to model the global movements of empty containers. An agent-based maritime logistic empty container redistribution model was developed to help minimize the total relevant costs for empty container movement in the planning horizon. In the system, ports, shipping companies, customers, and empty containers were identified as critical agents. Using simulated annealing (SA), shipping line agents were able to optimise empty container repositioning to determine the best sequence for moving containers. The model was applied to the Asia–Middle East region to simulate global empty containers repositioning in the region. The results comparison shows that the proposed optimised empty container repositioning framework can significantly reduce the shipping line’s costs and make full use of empty containers maritime industry empty containers repositioning agent-based modelling simulation optimisation ladjarska industrija kontejnerski transport premeščanje praznih kontejnerjev simulacije optimizacija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2023-08-02 09:14:50 2023-08-02 09:14:50 2023-08-03 03:08:16 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 str. 1-17 issue 3, article no. 130 Vol. 11 Mar. 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-03-01 656.61:519.876.5 149519619 10.3390/systems11030130 2079-8954 Simulated_Global_Empty_Contai-Abdelshafie-2023.pdf Simulated_Global_Empty_Contai-Abdelshafie-2023.pdf 1 BBF6DB78BCF403F862E1DEC007E4A0C7 707fee9c9445803b834074efb7ca35bdf89c3fae9003bd2915b9064aa75ed33c 9d682ea9-3104-11ee-b6b4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169161 https://www.mdpi.com/2079-8954/11/3/130 1 467db088-3104-11ee-b6b4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169160 Fakulteta za logistiko 0 0 0
