Emissions from idle truck engines are a main source of pollution from transportation, and emission reduction from idle truck engines at container terminal has for this reason become a priority. At the import yard of a container terminal, an incoming truck has to wait for its turn to be loaded with containers which are then to be delivered to a customer. Reducing waiting time of trucks means that truck emissions are decreased as well as the competition of port increases. In this study, the emission from idle truck engines at the import yard is considered. The goal of this study is to develop a methodology for reducing emissions generated by trucks idling at import yards. The proposed method includes a mathematical model for minimizing truck emissions. In the model, total truck waiting time in the yard is estimated using discrete event simulation. To solve this model, a genetic algorithm is proposed. A case study in a Singaporean port is used for conducting experiments. The experiment result shows that the manager of a container terminal should control truck arrivals based on the stacking of import containers in order to reduce the truck idling time and thereby the truck emissions in the import yard.
