Abstract: |
In this work the management of truck
arrivals in a maritime terminal is investigated as possible strategy to be
used for obtaining a reduction in congestion and gate queues. In particular,
a non-mandatory Truck Appointment System (TAS) is considered. Inspired by the work of Zehedner and Feillet 2013, we
propose a multi-commodity network flow model for representing a maritime
terminal. We solve a mixed integer linear programming model based on the
network flow for determining the number of appointments to offer for each
time window in such a way to serve trucks in the shortest time as possible,
thus granting trucks a "good" service level. Some preliminary
results are presented. Solutions show the effectiveness of the proposed model
in flattening the arrivals distribution of vehicles. |
