Abstract:In yard-crane scheduling problems, as loading operations take priority over unloading, the delivery sequence of unloading from the quaysides to the yard is uncertain. The delivery sequence changes may make crane scheduling more difficult. As a result, the crane operations schedules developed statically become suboptimal or even infeasible. In this paper, we propose a dynamic scheduling problem considering uncertain delivery sequences. A mixed-integer linear program is developed to assign tasks to cranes and mi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
