Discrete-Event Control and Optimization of Container Terminal
Operations

1. To model a dynamical system with asynchronous multi-event transitions, such as the

terminal operations, we can use events' end-time as state variables for triggering a
new process while the rest of the events continue their on-going process
uninterrupted. (Chapter 3)
2. In the model predictive allocation algorithm, we need the preconditioning steps
which can be based on the ordering of arrival time, operations time, or distance.
(Chapter 3 and 6)
3. The field experiment teaches scholars that the proposed method which has a better
performance does not always satisfy the sailors in the vessels. They (the sailors) have
a strong preference for the existing berth allocation policy. (Chapter 3)
4. For a linear DESDIS given by a Markov chain and for a particular cost function given
by the sum of its state trajectories, the allocation problem is solved by re-ordering
the input sequence at any given event time based on the potential contribution of the
members in the current sequence to the present state of the system. (Chapter 4)
5. Applying the optimal policy only to important seaports in a network of container
terminals gives lower total network cost than arbitrary selection. But, in a non-
economically balanced network like in Indonesia, this may not be the best policy,
since this may result in more economic inequality among seaports. (Chapter 5)
6. Incorporating finite state machine in integrated container terminal operations does
not add to the problem’s complexity. It integrates well with the discrete-event
systems framework. (Chapter 6).
7. If you endure one hundred kilometers riding a bicycle, you endure one week working
on a paper.
8. At cloudy days in Bandung, I often wonder what the color of Groningen’s sky looks like.
People care for what they love.
