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.

时间窗下单船岸桥调度——基于数学规划和规则的启发式算法

在考虑任务属性中的任务优先顺序和不可同时执行要求,岸桥属性中的岸桥时间窗、转移时间、初始位置、安全距离和装卸速度等因素下,以单艘船舶的最短岸桥作业时间为目标函数,建立单艘船舶岸桥调度的混合整数线性模型P1。计算数据采集于宁波某集装箱港口,通过简化模型P2求解岸桥调度模型P1的下限边界值和排程数据,在此基础上,运用基于规则的启发式算法求解模型P1的岸桥调度时序表。计算结果表示本组合算法能较好地得到满意解,而且比较符合港口实际。
