BRAIN TRAIN CAN BOOST TERMINAL THROUGHPUT

A driverless, self-routing transport system, capable of moving containers rapidly round docks and terminals to cut throughput times and increase efficiency is described. This principle of automatic track selection offers routing flexibility comparable to road transport and can be also applied to monorails and steered vehicles. A detailed analysis of the system and a flow diagram for port application are included.
