This report addresses an important crossdocking planning operation which is the scheduling of trucks at crossdocking terminals. The study focuses on the problem in a resource-constrained crossdock. The truck scheduling problem in this scenario decides on the succession of incoming and outgoing trucks at the dock doors of the crossdocking terminal, subject to the availability of the crossdock re...

This paper considers a truck scheduling problem in a multiple cross docks while there is temporary storage in front of the shipping docks. Receiving and shipping trucks can intermittently move in and out of the docks during the time intervals between their task execution, in which trucks can enter to any of the cross docks. Thus, a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model for multiple cross docks ...

This paper studies truck scheduling in a resource-constrained crossdock. The problem decides on the sequence of incoming and outgoing trucks at the dock doors of the crossdocking terminal, subject to the availability of crossdock resources including dock doors and material handling systems. The resources are assumed non-preemptive making it necessary to address the feasibility of the problem be...

In September 2008 new regulations for managing heavy vehicle driver fatigue entered into force in Australia. According to the new regulations there is a chain of responsibility ranging from drivers to dispatchers and shippers and thus, carriers must explicitly consider driving and working hour regulations when generating truck driver schedules. This paper presents and studies the Australian Tru...

This paper presents and studies the Canadian Truck Driver Scheduling Problem (CAN-TDSP) which is the problem of determining whether a sequence of locations can be visited within given time windows in such a way that driving and working activities of truck drivers comply with Canadian Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations. Canadian regulations comprise the provisions found in U...

We present a bi-objective model for a green truck scheduling and routing problem at a cross-docking system. This model determines three key decisions at the cross dock: (1) defining a sequence and schedule of inbound trucks at the receiving door, (2) specifying a sequence and a schedule of outbound trucks at the shipping door, and (3) determining the routes of the outbound truck while serving c...

Motivated by the field sta routing and scheduling problem of an Austrian infrastructure service provider, which involves the planning of subroutes, we study the truck and trailer routing problem (TTRP) [2]. In the TTRP, two types of customers are considered: customers that can be visited by a truck pulling a trailer (denoted as vehicle customers) and customers that can only be visited by a truc...

The logistics operation of container terminal can be exploded into several subsystems which are correlative, these subsystems connect by some handling facilities. This paper study the coordinated scheduling of three main kinds of facilities-Quay Crane(QC),Yard Truck(YT) and Yard Crane(YC), use multidisciplinary variable coupling design optimization method(MVCDO) to build YT coordinated scheduli...
