Description: The Handbook of Terminal Planning is a collection of individual contributions that
deal with selected issues in the context of the suprastructure planning of seaport
container terminals. It thus has the character of an anthology in which chapters are
contributed by an international authorship.
Seaport container terminals form a bimodal or trimodal interface of water-, rail and
road-based transport systems. If the function of the interface is limited to a
bimodal cross-linking of transportation systems, such terminals typically enable a
connection of container sea transport in the main run with road transports in the pre and
on-carriage of the intermodal transport chain.
The main tasks of terminal planning on the level of suprastructure comprise layout
design, quantitative dimensioning of terminal resources and the derivation of
requirements for single suprastructure elements considering given operator requirements
for the entire terminal. Requirements engineering usually starts with the elaboration
of (necessary) functional properties which are specified in the course of the
planning process and are eventually ’translated’ into specific technical and process related
requirements. In later project phases, the results of suprastructure planning
form the basis for the equipment procurement process, construction measures and
the commissioning of projected terminal structures.
