Abstract

AbstractThis paper discusses the problem of scheduling quay cranes, the most important equipment in port terminals. A simulation model is developed for evaluating time of quay cranes. Then a dynamic scheduling model using objective programming for quay cranes is developed based on genetic algorithm approach. Finally, numerical experiments on a specific container terminal are made for propose approach. Computational results suggest that the proposed method is able to solve the problem efficiently.Keywordsquay cranecontainer terminalgenetic algorithm
