The inbound container space allocation in the automated container terminals

Expert Systems with Applications, 2021
Abstract In this paper, we study an inbound container space allocation problem in the automated container terminals using simulation-embedded optimization. We aim to allocate the container terminal yard space for a batch of arrived inbound containers so as to minimize the total AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) waiting time in the space allocation ...
