Yard cranes (YCs), yard trucks (YTs), and quay cranes (QCs) are the main material handling
equipment (MHE) used to fulfill Yard Storage Plan (YSP) and Vessel Stowage plan (VSP) in …

Nowadays, many industries rely on cranes for efficiently executing storage and retrieval
operations of goods. Areas of application are, for instance, container logistics in seaports …

Optimizing collaborative operations for yard cranes (YCs) and yard trucks (YTs) is vital to the
overall performance of a container terminal. This research investigates four different hybrid …

In a marine container terminal, truck dispatching is a crucial problem that impacts the
operation efficiency of the whole port. Traditionally, this problem is formulated as an offline …

In this research, we focus on a container dispatching and conflict-free yard crane routing
problem that arises at a storage yard in an automated, maritime container terminal. A …

This paper proposes a PSO (particle swarm optimization)-based integrated optimization of
container terminal scheduling with uncertain factors. It explores uncertain factors of yard …

The operational efficiency of a port depends on proper container movement planning, called
“stowage planning”, especially because unloading and loading container ships demands …

The joint scheduling of quay cranes (QCs), yard cranes (YCs), and yard trucks (YTs) is
critical to achieving good overall performance for a container terminal. However, there are …

This paper proposes an improved GA (genetic algorithm)‐based integrated optimization of
automated container terminal scheduling. The three‐stage integrated optimization model of …

International and domestic maritime trade has been expanding dramatically in the last few
decades, seaborne container transportation has become an indispensable part of maritime …
