Abstract

Container handling optimization in ports significantly influences logistics chain efficiency and cost control, vital for economic benefits. Traditional research prioritizes quay crane (QC) scheduling, while truck dynamic scheduling often ties directly to specific QCs, prolonging QC operation times and affecting port throughput and efficiency. To tackle this, the paper introduces a dynamic truck dispatching algorithm with two task allocation strategies. Experimental results reveal our algorithm
reduces total QC make span by 10.8% in general when compared to traditional methods and has increased effectiveness in large scale problems.
