An improved approach for the quay crane assignment problem with limited availability of internal trucks in container terminal

Multi-level fleet size optimization for containers handling using double-cycling strategy

“…For QCAP, Lajjam et al (2014) used the ant colony optimization technique to optimize the assignment of QCs to the vessels. A two-phase approach was presented by Karam et al (2014) to assign QCs considering the availability of the YTs using mixed integer programming (MIP) and dynamic programming. Integration of both BAP and QCAP has also been addressed in the literature (Zheng et al 2019a;Iris et al 2015;Xiao and Hu 2014;Zampelli et al 2013;Raa et al 2011;Chang et al 2010).…”
