Abstract:Currently, ports are playing an important role in the national economy of the USA. On the other hand, truck operation is an essential part for ports’ activities. However, a higher transportation cost and time within a port facility can increase overall expenditures for a wholesale organization. Especially, an increased transportation time may result in higher inventory costs for a company along with opportunity cost. It is well developed that the operation of AGV accompanied with a platooning system in place of the conventional heavy trucks operation will reduce the dwelling time which will also positively impact the transportation costs.
