Controls: Emulation to improve the performance of container terminals

Nowadays container terminals are struggling with a continuously increasing volume. Therefore, they are searching for solutions to increase throughput capacity without expanding their physical footprint. Furthermore, they aim to increase their productivity on vessels in order to be able to handle bigger ships with larger call sizes in the same time frame. A terminal operating system (TOS) plays a major role in today's terminal operations as it supports planning, scheduling and equipment control. Recently more and more tasks are performed by the TOS
