Research on Space Allocation Problem of Export Yard in Container Terminals

Article Preview

Abstract:

A multi-objective model is proposed, for export yard space allocation problem in container terminals, with the objectives to minimize the total distance to transport containers and the workload imbalance between blocks. An improved linear efficacy coefficient method is proposed to deal with both objectives in order to formulate the problem as a single-objective integer programming model.
