Optimization Study of Berth Allocation Based on Genetic Algorithm

Publication: ICLEM 2012: Logistics for Sustained Economic Development—Technology and Management for Efficiency

Abstract

Port berth is the joint of waterway and land communication where ship handling is done. Berth allocation is an important part of port operations and is also the key link of logistics. Associated with berth operation ability and water depth, this paper establishes a 0-1 programming model to make the ship's retention time in the port and the distance between the berth and target storage yard minimum. This problem is solved by the Genetic Algorithm. An example is presented, indicating that the Genetic Algorithm is able to find a satisfactory answer to berth allocation.
