A crane scheduling method for port container terminals
Article Abstract:
A mathematical formulation for the Quay crane (QC) scheduling problem, which is an important problem in the operation of port container terminals is described. To solve the problem, a branch and bound (B & B) method and a lower bound of the optimal objective value is proposed.
