QC efficiency40 moves/hAGV moving speed6 m/s
ASC hoisting speed (unloaded)1 m/sASC hoisting speed (loaded)0.5 m/s

These parameters have been used in the simulation program for the Next Generation Container Port Challenge (http://www.ise.nus.edu.sg/news/award-mpa-winners.html). Three authors of this paper participated in the challenge, and their team is the final winner.
