Modelling and optimisation of online container stacking with operational constraints
Ceyhun Güven,Deniz Türsel Eliiyi +1 more
TLDR
A mathematical model for the optimal online assignment of an incoming export, transit, import or empty container is proposed and lower bounds for the performance measures are obtained through simulation by relaxing the operational constraints of the problem in a third stacking policy.Abstract:
Container transportation plays a critical role in the global shipping network and container terminals need to improve their operations to increase efficiency. Storage yard of a container terminal i...read more

Yard crane scheduling problem in a container terminal considering risk caused by uncertainty
TL;DR: A mathematical model is proposed for optimizing the total delay to the estimated ending time of all task groups without uncertainty and the extra loss under all uncertain scenarios and a GA-based framework combined with three-stage algorithm is proposed to solve the problem.

Analytics meets port logistics: A decision support system for container stacking operations
TL;DR: The results confirm the virtues of the proposed DSS to effectively support planning decisions at the container yard and show good performance of the operations at the yard in terms of rehandles in comparison with the current practices of this port terminal and well-known stacking strategies.
The Storage Space Allocation Problem at a Container Terminal
Dung Ying Lin,Chia Wei Chiang +1 more
TL;DR: A decision rule-based heuristic is proposed, and three properties are discovered that show that the proposed heuristic can solve the real-sized instances within a second, making it possible to account for uncertainty because the re-optimization effort is negligible.
