چکیده
In this paper efficient in time methods for support decision-making processes in small container terminal operated by reachstackers are proposed. Two main problems are considered: first, minimization the number of loading/unloading operations between container trains and bays, second, minimization the number of re-handing operations within container bays. in Gliwice, Poland to model the problem of loading and unloading containers in small container terminal in Gliwice, Poland. For the first problem it is assumed that containers are represented by blocks and reachstackers are represented by robot arms. Then so called STRIPS representaion is used to model and solve loading/unloading planning problem. For the second problem a heuristic algorithm that meets technical limitation of reachstackers is introduced. The problem data are assumed for small container terminal in Gliwice, Poland. Key-Words :Container Terminal, STRIPS System, Computational efficiency, Heuristic Algorithm, WiMax

Re-Handling Operations in Small Container Terminal Operated by Reach Stackers
In this paper an average number of re-handlings analysis is proposed to solve the problem of finding bays configuration in small container terminal in Gliwice, Poland. Rehandlings in this terminal can be performed only by reachstackers. The goal of the heuristic is to plan the reachstacter moves in the terminal, assuming that the target containers are reached and the number of re-handings is mi...

The dramatic increasing of sea-freight container transportations and the developing trend for using containers in the multimodal handling systems through the sea, rail, road and land in the present market cause some challenges to the general managers of container terminals such as increasing demand, competitive situation, new investments and expansion of new activities and the need to use new m...
متن کاملA New Approach for Sequencing Loading and Unloading Operations in the Seaside Area of a Container Terminal
Due to the considerable growth in the worldwide container transportation, optimization of container terminal operations is becoming highly needed to rationalize the use of logistics resources. For this reason, we focus our study on the Quay Crane Scheduling Problem (QCSP), which is a core task of managing maritime container terminals. From this planning problem arise two decisions to be made: T...

Rail mounted gantry crane (RMGC) scheduling is important in reducing makespan of handling operation and improving container handling efficiency. In this paper, we present an RMGC scheduling optimization model, whose objective is to determine an optimization handling sequence in order to minimize RMGC idle load time in handling tasks. An ant colony optimization is proposed to obtain near optimal...
