Abstract

ABSTRACT We study an inbound container housekeeping problem in an automated container terminal. We propose an integer programming model to characterize the problem and provide a meta-heuristic algorithm to solve it. To tackle the random factors in the future retrieval process, a simulation module is embedded in the process of evaluating the objective value. By computational experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our method. Moreover, we also conduct sensitivity analysis to examine the impacts of different algorithm parameters.

基于仿真的元启发式方法在自动化集装箱码头中解决进港集装箱管理问题

摘要：我们研究了一个自动化集装箱码头中的进港集装箱内务管理问题。我们提出了一个整数规划模型来描述问题，并提供了一个元启发式算法来解决问题。为了解决未来检索过程中的随机因素，在评估目标值的过程中嵌入了一个模拟模块。通过计算实验，我们证明了我们的方法的有效性和效率。此外，我们还进行了灵敏度分析，以检验不同算法参数的影响。

期刊介绍： Thirty years ago maritime management decisions were taken on the basis of experience and hunch. Today, the experience is augmented by expert analysis and informed by research findings. Maritime Policy & Management provides the latest findings and analyses, and the opportunity for exchanging views through its Comment Section. A multi-disciplinary and international refereed journal, it brings together papers on the different topics that concern the maritime industry. Emphasis is placed on business, organizational, economic, sociolegal and management topics at port, community, shipping company and shipboard levels. The Journal also provides details of conferences and book reviews.
