Abstract

This paper constructs a berth-quay crane capacity planning model with the lowest average daily cost in the container terminal, and analyzes the influence of the number of berths and quay cranes on the terminal operation. The object of berth-quay crane capacity planning is to optimize the number of berths and quay cranes to maximize the benefits of the container terminal. A steady state probability transfer model based on Markov chain for container terminal is constructed by the historical time series of the queuing process. The current minimum time operation principle (MTOP) strategy is proposed to correct the state transition probability of the Markov chain due to the characteristics of the quay crane movement to change the service capacity of a single berth. The solution error is reduced from 7.03% to 0.65% compared to the queuing theory without considering the quay crane movement, which provides a basis for the accurate solution of the berth-quay crane capacity planning model. The proposed berth-quay crane capacity planning model is validated by two container terminal examples, and the results show that the model can greatly guide the container terminal berth-quay crane planning.

基于马尔可夫链的集装箱码头泊位-码头起重机运力规划

本文构建了集装箱码头平均日成本最低的泊位-码头起重机运力规划模型，分析了泊位数量和码头起重机数量对码头运营的影响。泊位-码头起重机容量规划的目标是优化泊位和码头起重机的数量，使集装箱码头的效益最大化。利用集装箱码头排队过程的历史时间序列，建立了基于马尔可夫链的集装箱码头稳态概率传递模型。针对码头起重机运动改变单个泊位服务能力的特点，提出了当前最小时间运行原则(MTOP)策略，修正了马尔可夫链的状态转移概率。与不考虑码头起重机运动的排队理论相比，求解误差从7.03%降低到0.65%，为泊位-码头起重机容量规划模型的精确求解提供了依据。通过两个集装箱码头实例验证了所提出的泊位-码头起重机容量规划模型，结果表明该模型对集装箱码头泊位-码头起重机规划具有较强的指导作用。
