dc.description.abstract | In response to the growing competitiveness of transport modes via terminals, managers
find ways to enhance their performance. Considering coordination of three container
handling equipment, includes quay cranes, yard cranes, and yard trucks is one approach
to improve the operational effectiveness. This research focuses on integrating the
scheduling of each individual handling equipment within the container terminal to
minimize the makespan during the unloading process. A Mixed-Integer Programming
(MIP) model was developed to address this small-scale scheduling problem. Meanwhile,
an adaptive of a Red Fox Optimization was devised by adjusting parameters to obtain
approximately optimal solutions with large instances. Experiments were carried out for
both small-scale and large-scale problems to evaluate the effectiveness of this
integrating within the unloading process on completion and computation times. | en_US |
