A case study of genetic algorithms for quay crane scheduling
In the operations of container terminals, a proper organized quay-crane-scheduling is critical to the operational efficiency. The aim of this paper is to develop a two-quay-crane schedule with non-interference constraints for the port container terminal of Narvik. First, a mathematical formulation o...

Summary: | In the operations of container terminals, a proper organized quay-crane-scheduling is critical to the operational efficiency. The aim of this paper is to develop a two-quay-crane schedule with non-interference constraints for the port container terminal of Narvik. First, a mathematical formulation of the problem is provided, and then a Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach is developed to obtain near optimal solutions. Finally, computational experiments on GA approach with different parameters are conducted. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. |
