Collaborative optimization of truck appointment system and yard cranes allocation based on ship time window

With the rapid growth of global container trade volume and trend large-scale ships. The collection distribution port efficiency capacity terminals in various countries are facing huge challenges. Due to randomness most trucks entering port, often face problem traffic congestion caused by centralized arrival load operation yard equipment. Therefore, terminal operators urgently need manage optimize all aspects operations. This paper proposes a truck appointment system that simultaneously considers time window ships allocation plan crans, so as reasonably allocate each amount quota. By means shortening ship’s rationally allocating cranes operations blocks, human material resources can be fully utilized, alleviate pressure terminal, shorten waiting trucks, reduce cost operators.
