Abstract: |
In this paper we focus our attention on the operational
decision problems related to the seaside area of maritime container
terminals. In particular, we face the Quay Crane Assignment Problem (QCAP)
and Quay Crane Scheduling Problem (QCSP) with an integrated
simulation-optimization approach. A 0/1 MIP model is developed in order to
determine the optimal assignment, on a shift basis, of QCs to bays of each
ship served by the terminal during a given planning horizon, referred as Bay_QCAP. The optimization model solutions are
used as input parameters for a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model able to
reproduce the system behaviour taking into account
its stochastic nature and complexity. The framework can be used for
evaluating the impact on the seaside terminal performance of the optimized
solutions and the effects of different operative decisions related to the
scheduling of QCs. The
framework is going to be applied to a real case study pertaining to the
Southern European Container Hub (SECH), sited in the Port of Genoa, Italy. |
