This paper focuses on the optimization of operation scheduling in container terminals based on mix cross-operation. Mix cross-operation is a scheduling method which allows yard trailers to be shared by different yard cranes in different berths to decrease yard trailers’ travel distance. An integrating scheduling model that optimizes the three key and interrelated issues, namely, berth assignment, equipment configuration and trailer routing are proposed. To solve the model, a bi-level genetic algorithm is designed. Numerical tests show that integrating scheduling method can reduce operation cost of container terminals significantly and mix cross-operation can decrease yard trailers’ empty travel distance to a great extent.

Decision Making System

This paper discusses the problem of allocating and scheduling quay cranes (QCs). The problem is decomposed into two sub problems. One is QCs-allocation problem, the other is QCs-scheduling problem. The objective is to find an optimal QCs-to-tasks matching and the QCs’ work sequence so as to ensure the synchronous among QCs and then maximizes container terminal’s throughput ultimately. And then for solving the QCs-scheduling model, a novel search methodology based on heuristic rule-modules with different priority is studied. Through experiments the decision-making system for QCs allocating and scheduling is proved efficient and applied.
