自动化码头箱区堆垛机调度优化问题

Due to the intensified competitions among container terminals, in order to enhance the competitiveness, more and more container terminals especially the ones in China have been doing researches and experiments on how to construct and operate automated container terminals. The main objective of this proposal focuses on the optimal scheduling of Automated Stacking Cranes (ASC) in the context of automated container terminals. It includes the dual ASCs scheduling problem with the consideration of task time windows, different weights, associated rack system, and task split (two ASCs handle one task) etc. Meanwhile, the proposal also aims to study the ASC scheduling problem in the environment of uncertainties and robust optimization models to mitigate the adverse effects of randomness will be developed. The proposal will take advantage of the commence of the Shanghai Yangshan Phase 4 automated container terminal project and its outcome can be used as a decision supporting module for ASC scheduling problem arising from Yangshan Phase 4 automated container terminal.

随着集装箱码头之间的竞争日益的激烈，为了提高码头的竞争优势，越来越多的码头，尤其是中国开始研究如何建设和运营自动化集装箱码头。本项目的主要研究内容为自动化码头背景下箱区自动堆垛机的优化调度问题。包括考虑了进提箱任务时间窗、重要度、具有附属支架系统、和单任务多机接力协作等的双自动堆垛机调度问题和考虑了不确定性环境下，使得求解调度方案具有鲁棒性的自动堆垛机调度优化问题。本项目将紧密结合上海洋山四期自动化码头项目，旨在开发出能投入实际应用的自动堆垛机调度优化决策支持工具。

随着集装箱码头之间的竞争日益的激烈，为了提高码头的竞争优势，越来越多的码头，尤其是中国开始研究如何建设和运营自动化集装箱码头。本项目的主要研究内容为在自动化码头背景下的港口机械调度问题，包括考虑运作不确定性、任务具有时间窗、重要度、堆场具有附属支架系统等特性。目前项目针对主要的研究内容发表了2篇SCI外文论文，在本基金的资助下培养了2名研究生。本项目的主要贡献为自动化码头机械调度问题提供理论模型和优化算法。
