it is firstly proved that the multi-input-single-output (miso) fuzzy systems based on interval-valued $r$- and $s$-implications can approximate any continuous function defined on a compact set to arbitrary accuracy.  a formula to compute the lower upper bounds on the number  of interval-valued fuzzy sets needed to achieve a pre-specified approximation  accuracy for an arbitrary multivariate con...

In this paper, the optimization of the Berth Allocation Problem (BAP) is transformed into a multiple stage decision making procedure and a new multiple stage search method, namely stochastic beam search algorithm, is proposed to solve it. New techniques such as an improved beam search scheme, a two-phase node goodness estimation, and a stochastic node selection criteria are proposed. Real-life ...

We focus on the integrated seaside operations in container terminals, namely the integration of berth allocation, quay crane assignment and quay crane scheduling problems. We first develope a mixed-integer linear programming formulation. Then, we propose an efficient cutting plane algorithm based on a decomposition scheme. Our approach deals with berthing positions of the vessels and their assi...

Shore-side electricity can drastically reduce the emissions from fossil fuel-powered auxiliary engines of ships at berth. Data scarcity on power demand berth has limited scope and temporal resolution previous studies to few ports ships. We establish a novel method estimate for 714 major in European Economic Area (EEA) United Kingdom (UK). Therefore, emission report data Monitoring, Reporting Ve...

The analysis and presentation of plan view parameters for 39 marinas operating in Croatia is made in the paper to enhance improvement of the spatial and economic planning of nautical tourism in Croatia. The following plan view parameters were collected: number of berths, number of dry berths, breakwater length, fixed pier length, pontoon length, waterfront length, water basin area, territory ar...

This paper proposed an integrated model of combining Berth Allocation Problems (BAP) and Quay Cranes Assignments (QCA). It aims to improve terminal performances by minimizing the total service time and vessel transfer rate, especially for those important customers (vessels). A Two-Level Genetic Algorithm (TLGA) approach was proposed for solving the problems. A number of experiments were conduct...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a method for measuring the relative efficiencies of a set of decision-making units (dmus) that use multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. in this paper, we study the measurement of dmu performances in dea in situations where input and/or output values are given as imprecise data. by imprecise data we mean situations where we only know that the actual val...
