The presentation describes ideas of how to optimize RTG deployment on the terminal yard by forecasting numbers of RTGs needed and optimal dispatching instructions.

2. Optimization :: Overview Computer Software Cut costs Raise productivity

3. Optimization :: Ports and Terminals Optimization Tools Special Planning Tools Planning Tools Terminal Operating System What if? What is the best way to do it? What is going on? What is the current situation? What will happen next?

4. RTG :: Issues What will happen? What if? Best way? Can you use less RTG? How many RTG will you need for the next shift? Where and when to expect bottlenecks? Where and when to send RTGs to cover all planned moves? How to avoid delays? How to secure minimum driving distances and time?
