A biased random-key genetic algorithm for the time-invariant berth allocation and quay crane assignment problem

First-mile logistics parcel pickup: Vehicle routing with packing constraints under disruption

“…for packing problems in different settings, such as container loading (Ramos et al, 2018) and closely related berth allocation problems (Correcher and Alvarez-Valdes, 2017). Additionally, Alvarez-Valdes et al (2013) study the value of integrating path-relinking strategies in other metaheuristic frameworks, as Andrade et al (2021) propose for genetic algorithms.…”

The tactical berth allocation problem with time-variant specific quay crane assignments

“…Türkogullari et al (2014) provide a new position assignment formulation and propose an efficient cutting plane algorithm for solving large BACASP instances to optimality. Correcher and Alvarez-Valdes (2017) address the continuous, time-invariant version of both the BACAP and BACASP with a Genetic Algorithm (GA), whereas Correcher et al (2019) developed a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model to solve both variants in an exact manner. Zhang et al (2010), Raa et al (2011) and Xiaolong et al (2015) all proposed MIP formulations which take into account a limited coverage range for each crane and demonstrate how such restrictions may be of significant practical relevance for integrated planning approaches.…”

Adjacency, oppositional and blocking restrictions between berths have rarely been considered and those studies which did address these restrictions were limited to specific terminal layouts.…”
