Tandem Lift Quay Cranes and Yard Trucks Scheduling Problem at Container Terminals

Article Preview

Abstract:

The reasonable dispatching and scheduling of the Tandem Quay Cranes and trucks is the foundation to improve the efficiency of the container terminals. Under the base of single lift quay cranes research, a research on Tandem Lift Quay Cranes and Yard Trucks scheduling is carried on in this paper. A mixed integer programming (MIP) model can be built to solve an integrated tandem lift quay crane and yard truck scheduling problem (i-TLQCYT). A Local Sequence-cut Method is applied to solve the model. Then the shortest time to complete the unloading operations can be got.
