Popis: The major difficulties of the operation of loading, unloading and transportation at container terminals are how to schedule berths, quay cranes and trucks more effectively and efficiently. Therefore, how to optimize their configurations effectively and connect them more reasonably is a problem which should be solved eagerly. However, a reasonable and effective optimization model is the basis and the key of this problem. The operation time of container terminals mainly depends on the time of ships in port and the operation time of trucks, quay cranes and yard cranes. So, the objective of this paper is to minimize the sum of these four parts. An optimization model based on some reasonable and necessary hypotheses is proposed and an algorithm and procedure are designed.
