Evolutionary Approach for the Containers Bin-Packing Problem
This addresses operational efficiency for river port management, but it appears incremental as it applies an existing method to a specific domain.
The paper tackled the container bin-packing problem in maritime transport scheduling to minimize container rehandlings, using a genetic algorithm that achieved unspecified results.
This paper deals with the resolution of combinatorial optimization problems, particularly those concerning the maritime transport scheduling. We are interested in the management platforms in a river port and more specifically in container organisation operations with a view to minimizing the number of container rehandlings. Subsequently, we rmeet customers delivery deadlines and we reduce ship stoppage time In this paper, we propose a genetic algorithm to solve this problem and we present some experiments and results.
