Improving Packing Efficiency for Shipping Container
نویسندگان
چکیده
This present paper focused on the efficiency improvement on the container packing. The modified genetic algorithm (MGA) was developed to find the solution of arranging heterogeneous boxes into containers with a standardised dimension. The proposed MGA included an elitist strategy and flexible arranging sequence (FAS). Five instant datasets were used in the computational experiments aiming to benchmark the proposed GA with the simple GA. The analysis of experimental results demonstrated that the volume utilisations of shipping containers obtained from MGA were improved dramatically especially in the extra large problems.

Yard management for improving the efficiency of a Container Terminal
Cost and time efficient port operations are vital nowadays due to the increasing port competition worldwide. In many cases, efficiency may overcome strategic positioning, i.e. a shipping line may prefer to call at a port which is able to handle efficiently a large mother vessel, and take advantage of economies of scale, even if it is not situated near to the main international shipping routes. ...

متن کاملWall Effect in 3D Simulation Of Same Sized Particles Packing
In this paper, the effects of container size on the porosity of random loose packing of mono size particles have been investigated using an Event Dynamics (ED) based model. Simultaneous effects of square container walls on particles packing and their order are also investigated. Our simulation results indicate higher container size will increase the total packing factor and high density regions...
