The new ideas,new train of thoughts and new methods for coastline and land area layout planning and design of modern container port area are probed into on the basis of the accumulations from study and work.

Considering key problems of operation system, theories and methodologies of simulation and optimization for operation system of container port area are studied.

To counter the pressure of road system of container port caused by increase of throughput, to research the relation of traffic flow and road transportation volume for container port.

With the rapid increase of container port′s throughput and innovation of CIQ supervisory modes nationwide,especially accompanying the implementation of extended CIQ policy and trial execution of district-port joint development,the back-up lands of container ports have appeared obviously unadaptable to the demands of port development.

The paper evaluates and forecasts the current situation of container port logistics system combining with road traffic system and puts forward the plan for container port logistics system and road traffic system based on modeling analysis.

In recent years, the functions of container terminals become very important along with the frustration of traffic problem of storage yards.
