The ship lock system of the Three Gorges Hub (TGH) stands out as the most intricate
navigation system for ships passing through dams, which is composed of the the world's …

Locks are important components of a waterway system. To improve the efficiency of inland
waterway transport, it is important to ensure ships passing locks without having to spend …

A complex and typical scheduling problem in waterway transportation: co-scheduling of
cascaded locks with multiple chambers (CCLM) is studied. Based on in-depth analysis of the …

Inland river multi-line lock united scheduling is an important issue during navigation, and
scheduling arrangement directly influences waterborne logistic efficiency. The research …

Inland vessels often have to cross numerous locks before reaching their final destination,
which leads to a significant delay and sometimes represents as much as half of the total …

This paper focuses on lock and quay co-scheduling problem (LQCP) so that delay time of
ships at a lock and time spent at the quay are minimized. The task can be regarded as a …

Due to the unprecedentedly increasing demands of waterway transportation on the Yangtze
River during the latest years, traffic congestion at the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) has …

The generalized lock scheduling problem (GLSP) is a mixed integer optimization problem
which consists of a ship placement (SP) and a lockage operation scheduling (LOS) sub …

In order to improve the navigation capacity of ship lock and optimize ship scheduling, the
average opening intervals of ship locks of Three Gorges Dam were analyzed, and a new …

The scheduling method of shiplock has a strong influence on the improvement of shiplock
capacity. On the condition that the number of the ships waiting for the lock was relatively …
