A RESEARCH ON MODELS PROPOSED FOR QUAY CRANE SCHEDULING PROBLEM IN CONTAINER TERMINALS
Journal Title: Denizcilik Fakültesi Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Ports within the international logistics and supply chain system constitute an important link of transport main activity. Port operations directly and indirectly affect all logistics processes. It is necessary to optimize these processes considering the increasing inter-port competition. Especially the efficiency of quay cranes used in port operations has an important effect on the port capacity and the waiting time of the vessels in ports. Thus, many models have been proposed to obtain optimal efficiency from quay crane operations. The study aims to examine and discuss the models proposed in the literature to solve the quay crane scheduling problem in the container terminals. As a result of the bibliometric analysis, it has been understood that the genetic algorithm is the most frequently used solution algorithm in the 21 different solution methods used in the proposed models. It has also been determined that artificial intelligence is the most preferred approach. The research also reveals that the rapidly developing technology has a direct impact on the infrastructure of ports, that ports need fast handling cranes and that innovative solution models should be developed in this direction.
