Transshipment yards and container ports are main points where the transportation mode of goods can be changed. Since rail and roads are operating at their capacity limits, an acceleration of freight transport requires faster processes in order to improve the efficiency of cargo handling at container terminals and to cope with the increasing shipping volume. In this book “On Combinatorial Optimization and Mechanism Design Problems Arising at Container Ports” the author concentrates exactly on that, analysing different transportation problems arising at container terminals from a quantitative point of view.

转运站和集装箱港口是改变货物运输方式的主要场所。由于铁路和公路在其容量限制下运营，加快货物运输需要更快的流程，以提高集装箱码头的货物处理效率，并应对日益增长的货运量。在这本《集装箱港口组合优化与机制设计问题》一书中，作者正是集中于此，从定量的角度分析了集装箱码头出现的不同运输问题。
