چکیده
This paper addresses the applications of different techniques for solving container terminals problems. We have built a simulation model that can be used to analyze the performance of container terminal operations. The proposed approach is intended to be applied for a real case study in Alexandria Container Terminal (ACT) at Alexandria port. The implementation of our approach shows that a proposed model increases the efficiency of Alexandria container terminal at Alexandria port.

Scheduling in Container Terminals using Network Simplex Algorithm
In static scheduling problem, where there is no change in situation, the challenge is that the large problems can be solved in a short time. In this paper, the Static Scheduling problem of Automated Guided Vehicles in container terminal is solved by the Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA). The algorithm is based on graph model and their performances are at least 100 times faster than traditional si...
متن کاملQuay Cranes and Yard Trucks Scheduling Problem at Container Terminals
A bi-objective mathematical model is developed to simultaneously consider the quay crane and yard truck scheduling problems at container terminals. Main real-world assumptions, such as quay cranes with non-crossing constraints, quay cranes’ safety margins and precedence constraints are considered in this model. This integrated approach leads to better efficiency and productivity at container te...
