Therefore, this study drew on the characteristics of "hump" transportation to design a sliding track type, three-dimensional wharf handling system. Meanwhile, considering the design problem of safety dip angle during the loading and unloading operation of the sliding rail terminal, this study constructed the calculation model of the optimal dip angle of the sliding rail operation. This provides a decision support for the improvement of the port handling system. Based on the aforementioned questions, this study first quantified the effects of temperature, humidity and container material. The correction factor for the friction coefficient was obtained. Secondly, combined with the classical mechanics theory, this study developed an optimal calculation model for the inclination of the sliding rail operation under the comprehensive effect of multiple factors. Finally, this study verified the rationality and safety of the optimal dip angle for a specific numerical case of a port. The results show that the safe inclination angle calculated in this case is 21.9°, which meets the requirements of safe operation. The applicability of the above research is verified.</p> 2024-12-17T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright © 2024 Taiyang Li, Mingjie Li, Fangwei Zhang, Muran Wang, Mengchen Wang
