Features

  • Benefits
    • Higher terminal efficiency
    • Reduced dispatcher workload
    • Efficient use of container handling equipment (CHE)
    • Reduction of equipment idle time
    • Reducing costs significantly
  • Equipment Allocation
    • Supports all types of transporters: straddle carrier, RTG, RMG, reachstacker
    • CHE can operate for specific crane or work area or receive instructions for the entire terminal
    • Each transporter can have multiple assignments each with different user-defined priorities
    • Transporters can work in teams
  • Tasks & work queue management
    • Hierarchical grouping of container moves
    • Distinguish between vessel related tasks and housekeeping tasks (yard, truck, rail)
    • Work queues and move lists can be split, re-sequenced or grouped by the TRAFIC dispatcher 
    • Ensure proper handling of operational reefers by automatic plug and unplug instructions 
    • User-defined priorities for tasks
  • Assignment Optimization
    • Full flexibility for assigning instructions to Container Handling Equipment
    • Allocates moves in a fully autonomous way based on the selection of user-modifiable parameters.
    • Other variables such as total driving distance, empty driving distance and age of instruction are taken into account by TRAFIC
    • Move splits in case of more than one transporter
    • Automatically generates and transmits instructions to equipment drivers 
    • More accurate driving instructions via radio data terminals instead of voice radio
  • Trafic Dispatcher
    • Full control over every task and work queue
    • Monitor every move
    • Authority to change the priority of a given move 
    • Assign moves to different transporter
    • Prepare and assign shifting moves
    • Real-time follow-up of the situation on the yard; after the execution of an instruction the GUI is automatically updated, guaranteeing the accuracy of the system.
    • Determines interactively the road maps & work areas so TRAFIC can calculate the total driving distance for each move
  • Assign driving instructions in a sequence to transporters in order to optimize their routes
