Optimization of Plane Slots Number for Container Yard Based on Two-Stage Stochastic Programming

Abstract:

Appropriate plane slots number of the container yard is of great importance to the sustainable development of low-carbon container ports. Considering the container type, handling process, cost and benefit of unit yard space, etc., a two-stage stochastic programming model with the goal of maximizing the yard profit was established by choosing the maximum daily storage number of containers as a random variable. The maximum yard profit and the minimum penalty function are respectively chosen as the goal in the first and second stage. The example results show that the value obtained by the two-stage stochastic programming is smaller than that by the specification. The proposed model provides an optimization method for the determination of plane slots number through effectively lessening the influence of uncertainties and saving resource cost.
