Research on Vehicle Schedule Problem for Drop and Pull Transport of Port

Article Preview

Abstract:

The port’s collection and distribution is an important application branch of container drop and pull transport. Taking full account of the problems of empty containers and trailers, the paper explores the vehicle schedule problem in drop and pull transport in import and export businesses. Then this paper designs the corresponding mathematical models and greed algorithms. Finally, the advantages of this transport mode in the utilization of vehicle, transport efficiency and fleet operating costs are verified based on the real production data of Rongqi port in Foshan
