Development of an Optimal Port Crane Trajectory for Reduced Energy Consumption

This paper is concerned with the development of an optimal load-handling trajectory for port cranes. The objective is to minimize load cycle time and reduce energy consumption. Energetic macroscopic representation formalism is used to model a port crane load-handling mechanism. The crane model devel...
