Optimizing Container Management with Crane Availability Constraints

Publication: Applications of Advanced Technologies in Transportation Engineering (2004)

Abstract

Storing containers in the yard, allocating resources in the terminal, and scheduling vessel loading and unloading operations are major tasks in a container port. This paper mainly deals with the allocation of yard resources to the containers. We consider optimizing crane scheduling and weighted container movement in the yard with deterministic machine availability constraints. The problem is formulated as an NP-hard problem. A genetic algorithm is devised for solution.
