Cargo handling technologies final report

---

This report describes the work performed and results developed by the Center for Advanced Transportation Technologies of the University of Southern California under a subcontract with the California State Long Beach Foundation for Sub-Task 1.2.3.2 entitled “Select and Evaluate State of the Art Handling Technologies” for the Project entitled “USTRANSCOM/MARAD/Center for Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies”. It provides an engineering evaluation of existing, emerging and conceptual cargo handling technologies. The report emphasizes the quantitative assessment of the performance of existing, emerging and conceptual, commercially developedtechnologies for terminal operations and proposes three preliminary automated container terminal concepts that employ advanced technologies. The competitive world economy, needs of the military and the increasing performance expectations of customers lead to a demand for low cost, rapid and dependable shipping of cargo. The saturation of land usage in most ports together with the competitiveness for higher capacity and efficiency put pressure on port authorities and terminal operators to make existing port terminal facilities more efficient through the use of advanced technologies. The development of efficient, automated, high-tech loading/unloading equipment and associated cargo handling and tracking technologies has the potential of considerably improving the performance of terminal operations. The commercial sector is driving these developments in an effort to improve competitiveness and provide additional services in operations associated with cargo handling. U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has an opportunity to encourage, stimulate, and leverage the development and commercial application of such technologies in order to facilitate the rapid deployment of the force.
