Analyzing the truck volume traffic types in tin can island container terminal (tict)

Abstract

The steady rise in international trade volume has led to the high rate of utility of the marine industry. The gate system operation section of the marine terminal is a very pivotal aspect as it helps in the completion of the supply chain network. The drayage activities of pickups and delivery are single or double move operations at the terminal in order to meet customer's target. These operations are carried out by different types of trucks traffic: inbound and outbound trucks. This paper aims at investigating the flow pattern of these inbound and outbound trucks and their respective subdivision frequency at TICT in the year 2018. For the inbound trucks, 501-550 truck distribution had the highest interval with 34.5% as a daily percentage arrival within the operating hours. While with two-week interval, EMTIN (empty-in) dominated with a higher peak and CHIN had the least turn-out than the others inbound subdivisions. While for the outbound trucks pattern, it revealed that LDOUT (load-out) was domineering with a greater peak and the least was CHOUT (chassis-out). The rate of inbound to outbound truck volume for that year depicts the state of the countries dependency.
