Abstract
In recent years, processing capacity is tight at container terminals of the ports while security measures have been strengthened in maritime transport and port areas. Meanwhile, the three-item check (checks on the ID, organization and purpose of entrance) was made mandatory on July 1, 2014.
In this study, because the traffic jam aggravation by the three-item check was concerned, I surveyed the actual situation of the container terminals. At the surveyed terminal, the aggravation of the traffic jam by the three-item check was not confirmed.
If strengthening security measures increased the processing time of the in-coming container trailers by five minutes, the present gate equipment would overflow. But multi-staging the gating process could prevent overflow. I was able to confirm the possibility that a gating process could promote efficiency by the multi-staging gating process.
