| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 交通管理(科學)學系 === 82 === Container transportation currently plays a key role in
freight transportation. The major reasen is that container is
suitable for intermodel transportation. It is widely accepted
by shippers and carriers. Therefore, how to provide empty
containers for shippers efficiently has become an important
issue to carriers. The above issue which time aspect is taken
into account can be formulated as a dynamic container
allocation (DCA) model by making use of Dynamic Network.
However, the DCA model is usually a large-scale model
when more ports, lines, and container types are
involved. To release the burden of formulating the large-
scale model and editing, displaying corresponding data,
this research makes an attempt to develop a decision support
system (DSS) for the DCA model. The core of the DSS, the
DCA model, takes container size (20''/40''), ownership (owned/
leased), turn-around time and liner schedule into
consideration. Furthermore, a Geographic Information
System, TransCAD, is selected as the operating environment of
the DSS. This operating environment can be served as the
integration of the DCA model and the corresponding database,
and the friendly interface among users, model-solving
procedures, and graphics-displaying procedures. The
contributions of this research are as follows : 1.
Formulating a DCA model for a near sea shipping liner
service. 2. Developing a prototype DSS to
processing the model-solving procedure and displaying
results in graphics mode.
