To the complex environmental characteristics of irregular landforms,narrow depth to the west with mountains at the rear,a centralized and single external transportation system,and a high proportion of water-to-land transfer of east operation area in Yantian Port,there are technical problems with the layout of the port area's collection and distribution system.Firstly,through analysis,comparison,and simulation validation,combined with the operational characteristics of Yantian Port.A new multi-level intelligent gate layout model is proposed,consisting of secondary entering gates and tertiary exiting gates.This model integrates entering and exiting traffic through the Yantian East Interchange and incorporates sufficient buffer spaces to prevent congestion on elevated roads.Secondly,various administrative vehicle passages,including dedicated ramp bridges crossing the gate area,are established to avoid traffic intersections with container trucks.Finally,a dedicated Middle-East corridor is established in a suitable area to facilitate interconnection between the middle and east operation areas.Through these arrangements,this paper effectively resolves the difficulties in arranging the collection and distribution system of east operation area in Yantian Port,and improves the level of traffic service in the port area.
