Optimization of Container Handling Systems in Automated Maritime Terminal.
ADVANCED METHODS FOR COMPUTATIONAL COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE(2013)
摘要
Container terminals play a crucial role in global logistic networks. Because of the ever-increasing quantity of cargo, terminal operators need solutions for different decisional problems. In the maritime terminal, at boat arrival or departure, we observe five main problems: the allocation of berths, the allocation of query cranes, the allocation of storage space, the optimization of stacking cranes work load and the scheduling and routing of vehicles. A good cooperation between the different installations in the terminal is important in order to minimize container handling time. In an automated container terminal using Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) Query Cranes (QCs) and Automated Stacking Cranes (ASCs) numerical solutions have become essential to optimize operators' decisions. Many recent researches have discussed the optimization of ACT equipment scheduling using different approaches. In this paper we propose three mathematical models and an exact resolution of QC-AGV-ASC planning, the problem of tasks in an automated container terminal. Our first objective is to minimize the makespan (the time when the last task is achieved). The second objective is to minimize the number of required vehicles.
