Berthing allocation in container ports using genetic algorithms

Optimal use of berthing serve as a key factor in increasing productivity for container terminals is considered. Berthing allocation in a container port is simply to allocate the appropriate berthing vessels to the port of entry so that the total time spent in port, ships) from the time of entry until completion of loading and unloading (Minimum. In literature, transportation, often in the recent issue If properly planned mixed models are formulated. optimization methods such as bank branches and methods, you need to solve this kind of performance issues are not issues, especially in big dimensions of time use are not resolved. In these circumstances, the use of techniques such as Advanced genetic algorithms is the way. In this article alternative methods based on genetic algorithms is proposed to issue its results in two pilot issue, a small scale and the other in the real dimensions are presented. Also, the small scale example, responses obtained the responses of the proposed method and the method of Bank branches are compared.
