Description
Summary:Nonlinearities in a container port handling chain include mainly nonnegative arrive rate of container cargoes, limited container handling completion rate, and nonnegative unsatisfied freight requirement constraints. The nonlinearity influences the operation resources availability and consequently the planned container port handling strategies. Developments presented in this work are devoted to a novel design of sliding mode control with low-pass filter (SMC-LPF) to nonlinear handling chain system (HCS) in container ports. The SMC-LPF can effectively reduce unsatisfied freight requirement of the HCS and make chattering decrease significantly. To illustrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed SMC-LPF, an application to a real container port in China is outlined. The performances of the SMC-LPF for the nonlinear HCS in container ports outperform those of the traditional method, particle swarm optimization algorithm, and slide mode control under simulations with a unit step signal and a sinusoidal signal with offset as the freight requirements. The contributions herein demonstrate the proposed control strategy in weakening chattering, reducing the unsatisfied freight requirements to 0 as close as possible in the HCS, maximizing the operation resilience and robustness of port and shipping supply chain against parametric perturbation, external disturbances, and fluctuant handling abilities.
