Optimization Research of Berth Allocation and Quay Crane Assignment at Container Terminal Based on the Genetic Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the operation of container terminal, berth allocation and quay crane assignment problems (BACAP) always prevent the container terminal from reducing time of ships in port and improving utilization of equipment. In this paper, the objective is to minimize total time of ships in port. Some reasonable and necessary hypotheses are proposed. The mathematical optimization model of BACAP based on the hypotheses is established. The genetic algorithm is used to solve the nonlinear programming model.
