OSPF Concept in Intermodal Terminal

In the recent years, due to globalization and increasing in trades, containers are the main instruments used to transport large volumes of cargo with a high level of productivity and cost efficiency. Huge increment in supply chain and demand requires such kind of facilities at CT that can handle the containers efficiently. Port congestion negatively affects when ships delay. It causes extra cost, needs extra manpower, yard congestion and some time re-handling the containers finally its cause the delay in rail transportation and their business, resulted loss in business. The design of an IP network is a long-term investment where many aspects must be taken into consideration. Some of them are the cost of the design, network sustainability and aspects regarding traffic engineering. When, its matter to design an IP network for an industry like Sea ports or Container Terminal than the factors related to traffic engineering and scheduling needs more attention. This book address the problems of design and suggests a solution with IP network by using OSPF routing algorithm on the basis of Current status, Current location, distance and cargo limitation of C-AGVs.
