针对由于集装箱吞吐量增加造成翻箱成本增加与码头堆场拥堵,考虑内外堆场竞争,构建集装箱堆存定价模型,研究内外堆场竞争下的堆存定价决策和货主移箱决策,分析码头堆场操作成本、场外堆场运输成本、货主需求参数和码头堆场收益的内在关系。算例结果表明:一旦过了免费期立即移箱到场外堆场,货主成本最小。随着场外堆场运输成本的增加,码头堆场的堆存定价和箱量增加,提高码头堆场收益。随着码头堆场操作成本降低,码头堆场堆存价格随之下降,但码头堆存箱量增加,提高码头堆场收益。此外降低堆场定价对货主需求的影响参数以及提高运输成本对货主需求的影响系数,有利于提高码头堆场收益。 相似文献

在集装箱出口箱区堆场的实际作业中,常将待提箱提前翻倒至一空闲箱区,使其装船前以船舶配载图的倒序堆垛,以提高装船效率。为提高初始出口箱区的预翻作业效率,针对该箱区的多场桥调度优化问题进行研究。以实施预翻作业的某一出口箱区为研究对象,在船舶配载图已知的前提下,考虑作业场桥间保持安全距离且不可跨越的条件,兼顾满足经验翻箱规则等现实约束,侧重作业过程中实时翻箱,构建了以场桥作业总行走时间最小为优化目标的线性规划模型,并设计了分支定价算法。在算例实验中,通过与非实时预翻箱方案、FCFS方案以及下界进行对比,验证了模型及算法的有效性,可为集装箱码头出口箱堆场的场桥调度提供参考。 相似文献

Inbound and outbound containers are temporarily stored in the storage yard at container terminals. A combination of container demand increase and storage yard capacity scarcity create complex operational challenges for storage yard managers. This paper presents an in-depth overview of storage yard operations, including the material handling equipment used, and highlights current industry trends and developments. A classification scheme for storage yard operations is proposed and used to classify scientific journal papers published between 2004 and 2012. The paper also discusses and challenges the current operational paradigms on storage yard operations. Lastly, the paper identifies new avenues for academic research based on current trends and developments in the container terminal industry. 相似文献

This paper studies the storage yard management problem in a busy transshipment hub, where intense loading and unloading activities have to be considered at the same time. The need to handle huge volumes of container traffic and the scarcity of land in the container port area pose serious challenges for the port operator to provide efficient services. A consignment strategy with a static yard template has been used to reduce the level of reshuffles in the yard, but it sacrifices on land utilization because of exclusive storage space reservation. Two space-sharing approaches are proposed to improve on the land utilization through dynamic reservation of storage space for different vessels during different shifts. Meanwhile, workload assignment among reserved spaces will also satisfy the high-low workload balancing protocol to reduce traffic congestion in the yard. A framework which integrates space reservation and workload assignment is proposed. Experimental results show that the framework is able to provide solutions for containers handling within much less storage space, while guarantee the least yard crane deployment. 相似文献

Yard cranes are the most popular container handling equipment for loading containers onto or unloading containers from trucks in container yards of land scarce port container terminals. However, such equipment is bulky, and very often generates bottlenecks in the container flow in a terminal because of their slow operations. Hence, it is essential to develop good yard crane work schedules to ensure a high terminal throughput. This paper studies the problem of scheduling a yard crane to perform a given set of loading/unloading jobs with different ready times. The objective is to minimize the sum of job waiting times. A branch and bound algorithm is proposed to solve the scheduling problem optimally. Efficient and effective algorithms are proposed to find lower bounds and upper bounds. The performance of the proposed branch and bound algorithm is evaluated by a set of test problems generated based on real life data. The results show that the algorithm can find the optimal sequence for most problems of realistic sizes. 相似文献

The container was introduced as a universal carrier for various goods in the 1960s and soon became a standard worldwide transportation.
The competitiveness of a container seaport is marked by different success factors, particularly the time in port for ships.
Operational problems of container terminals is divided into several problems, such as assignment of vessels, loading/unloading
and storage of the containers, quay cranes scheduling cite, planning yard cranes cite and assignment of storage containers
cite. In this work, the study will focus on piloting yard trucks. Two different types of vehicles can be used, namely automated
guided vehicles (AGVs) and lifting vehicles (LVs). An AGV receives a container from a quay crane and transports containers
over fixed path. LVs are capable of lifting a container from the ground by itself. The model that we consider is formulated
as a mixed integer programming problem, and the difficulty arises when the number of binary variables increases. There are
a lot of algorithms designed for mixed integer programming problem such as Branch and Bound method, cutting plane algorithm,
. . . By using an exact penalty technique we treat this problem as a DC program in the context of continuous optimization.
Further, we combine the DCA with the classical Branch and Bound method for finding global solutions. 相似文献

This paper is concerned with yard management in transshipment hubs, where a consignment strategy is often used to reduce reshuffling and vessel turnaround time. This strategy groups unloaded containers according to their destination vessels. In this strategy, yard template determines the assignment of the spaces (sub-blocks) in the yard to the vessels. This paper studies how to make a good yard template under uncertain environment, for example, uncertain berthing time and berthing positions of the arriving vessels. To reduce the potential traffic congestion of prime movers, the workload distribution of sub-blocks within the yard is considered. A mixed integer programming model is formulated to minimize the expected value of the route length of container transshipping flows in the yard. Moreover, a heuristic algorithm is developed for solving the problem in large-scale realistic environments. Numerical experiments are conducted to validate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. 相似文献

Container terminal (CT) operations are often bottlenecked by slow YC (yard crane) movements. PM (prime mover) queues in front of the YCs are common. Hence, efficient YC scheduling to reduce the PM waiting time is critical in increasing a CT’s throughput. We develop an efficient model for YC scheduling by taking into account realistic operational constraints such as inter-crane interference, fixed YC separation distances and simultaneous container storage/retrievals. Among them, only inter-crane interference has ever been considered in the literature. The model requires far fewer integer variables than the literature by using bi-index decision variables. We show how the model can be solved quickly using heuristics and rolling-horizon algorithm, yielding close to optimal solutions in seconds. The solution quality and solution time are both better than the literature even with additional constraints considered. The proposed formulations and algorithms can be extended to other problems with time windows and space constraints. 相似文献

The Service Allocation Problem (SAP) is a tactical problem arising in the yard management of a container transshipment terminal. The objective is the minimization of the container rehandling operations inside the yard. This study of the SAP was undertaken for the Gioia Tauro port which is located in Italy and is the main hub terminal for container traffic in the Mediterranean Sea. The SAP can be formulated as a Generalized Quadratic Assignment Problem (GQAP) with side constraints. Two mixed integer linear programming formulations are presented. The first one exploits characteristics of the yard layout at Gioia Tauro where the berth and the corresponding yard positions extend along a line. The second formulation is an adaptation of a linearization for the GQAP. In both cases only small instances can be solved optimally. An evolutionary heuristic was therefore developed. For small size instances the heuristic always yields optimal solutions. For larger sizes it is always better than a truncated branch-and-bound algorithm applied to the exact formulations. 相似文献

In container terminals, the actual arrival time and handling time of a vessel often deviate from the scheduled ones. Being
the input to yard space allocation and crane planning, berth allocation is one of the most important activities in container
terminals. Any change of berth plan may lead to significant changes of other operations, deteriorating the reliability and
efficiency of terminal operations. In this paper, we study a robust berth allocation problem (RBAP) which explicitly considers
the uncertainty of vessel arrival delay and handling time. Time buffers are inserted between the vessels occupying the same
berthing location to give room for uncertain delays. Using total departure delay of vessels as the service measure and the
length of buffer time as the robustness measure, we formulate RBAP to balance the service level and plan robustness. Based
on the properties of the optimal solution, we develop a robust berth scheduling algorithm (RBSA) that integrates simulated
annealing and branch-and-bound algorithm. To evaluate our model and algorithm design, we conduct computational study to show
the effectiveness of the proposed RBSA algorithm, and use simulation to validate the robustness and service level of the RBAP
formulation. 相似文献

This paper studies an operational problem arising at a container terminal, consisting of scheduling a yard crane to carry out a set of container storage and retrieval requests in a single container block. The objective is to minimize the total travel time of the crane to carry out all requests. The block has multiple input and output (I/O) points located at both the seaside and the landside. The crane must move retrieval containers from the block to the I/O points, and must move storage containers from the I/O points to the block. The problem is modeled as a continuous time integer programming model and the complexity is proven. We use intrinsic properties of the problem to propose a two-phase solution method to optimally solve the problem. In the first phase, we develop a merging algorithm which tries to patch subtours of an optimal solution of an assignment problem relaxation of the problem and obtain a complete crane tour without adding extra travel time to the optimal objective value of the relaxed problem. The algorithm requires common I/O points to patch subtours. This is efficient and often results in obtaining an optimal solution of the problem. If an optimal solution has not been obtained, the solution of the first phase is embedded in the second phase where a branch-and-bound algorithm is used to find an optimal solution. The numerical results show that the proposed method can quickly obtain an optimal solution of the problem. Compared to the random and Nearest Neighbor heuristics, the total travel time is on average reduced by more than 30% and 14%, respectively. We also validate the solution method at a terminal. 相似文献

This study focuses on the inbound container unloading and stacking problem at container terminals and achieves both a reasonable unloading sequence and the optimal yard stacking distribution. A formulation is proposed as the relational expression between the expected number of rehandles and the stacking height. Based on the formulation, an integer programming model is established to both find the optimal stacking distribution and unloading sequence and attempt to minimize the expected number of rehandles. The model can be solved by the commercial solver for small-scale instances. To solve for large-scale instances in the real world, a two-stage search algorithm is designed, therein incorporating an initial stage for generating the feasible solution and a neighborhood search stage for finding the optimal solution. The algorithm can find an optimal solution in polynomial time, which is proved by theoretical methods and evidenced by numerical experiments. 相似文献
