Yard crane is an important resource in container terminals. Efficient utilization of the yard crane significantly improves the productivity and the profitability of the container terminal. This paper presents a mixed integer programming model for the yard crane scheduling problem with non- interference constraint that is NPHARD in nature. In other words, one of the most important constraints in...

Nowadays, there is much attention for planning of container terminals in the global trade centers. The high cost of quay cranes motivates both scholars and industrial practitioners especially in the last decade to develop novel optimization models to address this dilemma. This study proposes a coordinated optimization model to cover both Quay Crane Scheduling Problem (QCSP) and Quay Crane Assig...

Problem. Special attention is paid to maintaining tower cranes in good working order and serviceable condition through their proper operation. Unfortunately, violation of the operating rules can lead an emergency situation. In this case, both crane operator other workers on construction site may be injured. And some cases even death. Therefore, development measures for safe operation very impor...
