Yard Crane Pools and Optimum Layouts for Storage Yards of Container Terminals
نویسنده
چکیده مقاله:
As more and more container terminals open up all over the world, competition for business is becoming very intense for container terminal operators. They are finding out that even to keep their existing Sea Line customers, they have to make them happy by offering higher quality service. The quality of service they can provide depends on their operating policies and the design of the terminal layout. Existing layouts based on designs prepared a long time ago pose inherent limitations. We summarize some of these problems, and report on newer operating policies and designs which can help improve performance.

Yard crane scheduling in port container terminals using genetic algorithm
Yard crane is an important resource in container terminals. Efficient utilization of the yard crane significantly improves the productivity and the profitability of the container terminal. This paper presents a mixed integer programming model for the yard crane scheduling problem with non- interference constraint that is NPHARD in nature. In other words, one of the most important constraints in...

متن کاملDynamic Space and Time Partitioning for Yard Crane Workload Management in Container Terminals
We propose a new hierarchical scheme for yard crane (YC) workload management in container terminals. We also propose time partitioning algorithm and space partition algorithm for deploying YCs to handle the changing job arrival patterns in a row of yard blocks. The main differences between our approach and most of the methods in literature are: (1) Average vehicle job waiting time instead of th...

This paper studies the simultaneous reshuffle and yard crane scheduling problem in the yard of container terminals, which is one of the key logistics problems affecting the operation efficiency in container terminals. Although the reshuffle scheduling problem has received many research attention due to its importance, the problem without considering yard crane is not very practical, which is be...
متن کاملDiscrete time model and algorithms for container yard crane scheduling
Container terminal (CT) operations are often bottlenecked by slow YC (yard crane) movements. PM (prime mover) queues in front of the YCs are common. Hence, efficient YC scheduling to reduce the PM waiting time is critical in increasing a CT’s throughput. We develop an efficient model for YC scheduling by taking into account realistic operational constraints such as inter-crane interference, fix...
