Integration of Berth Allocation and Quay Crane Assignment in Tidal Container Ports

Tide is a significant factor which interferes with the berthing and departing operations of vessels in tidal ports. It is a preferable way to incorporate this factor into the simultaneous berth allocation and quay crane( QC) assignment problem( BACAP) in order to facilitate the realistic decision-making process at container terminal. For this purpose,an integrated optimization model is built with tidal time windows as forbidden intervals for berthing or departing. A hind-and-fore adjustment heuristic is proposed and applied under an iterative optimization framework. Numerical experiment shows the satisfying performance of the proposed algorithm.

基于泊位偏好与服务优先级的泊位和岸桥分配

针对泊位计划的泊位和岸桥联合分配问题,考虑在泊效率、船舶岸桥的平均作业速度,服务岸桥数量,船舶服务优先级,泊位偏好,准备时间和最迟必须离开时间共七个因素,以24 h内所有船舶的在港时间最短为目标函数,建立整数非线性规划模型(INLP).运用Gurobi软件和遗传算法进行求解,得出泊位计划的工作目标:昼夜计划表.并对实验结果进行岸桥平均作业台数分析.

单船岸桥分配与调度集成优化模型

针对集装箱码头泊位确定条件下的单船岸桥(QC)分配和调度问题,建立了线性规划模型。模型以船舶在泊作业时间最短为目标,考虑多岸桥作业过程中的干扰等待时间与岸桥间的作业量均衡,并设计了嵌入解空间切割策略的改进蚁群优化(IACO)算法进行模型求解。实验结果表明:与可用岸桥全部投放使用的方法相比,所提模型与算法求得结果平均能够节省31.86%的岸桥资源;IACO算法与Lingo求得的结果相比,船舶在泊作业时间的平均偏差仅为5.23%,但CPU处理时间平均降低了78.7%,表明了所提模型与算法的可行性和有效性。
