This paper presents and studies the Canadian Truck Driver Scheduling Problem (CAN-TDSP) which is the problem of determining whether a sequence of locations can be visited within given time windows in such a way that driving and working activities of truck drivers comply with Canadian Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations. Canadian regulations comprise the provisions found in U...

In this paper, a Q-Learning method for trasfer scheduling of freight cars in a train is proposed. In the proposed method, the number of freight-movements in order to line freights in the desired order is reflected by evaluation value for each pair of freight-layout and removal-destination at a freight yard. The best transfer scheduling can be derived by selecting the removal-action of freight t...

The truck appointment system is to set the share of according service capacity terminal gate and yard bridge, so that facilities equipment container can be reasonably used; On this basis, considering situation there are no-shows in delivery process, analyzing impact different types on system. With goal minimizing cost losses, an overbooking model based optimization constructed by queuing theory...

In automated container terminals, containers are transported between ships and storage yard by differen types of vehicles, for example, guided vehicle (AGV, yard crane (YC) and quay crane (QC). To improve the productivity of the automated container terminals, it is important to harmoniously synchronize operations of different types of container handling equipment. This paper examines the schedu...

We present a bi-objective model for a green truck scheduling and routing problem at a cross-docking system. This model determines three key decisions at the cross dock: (1) defining a sequence and schedule of inbound trucks at the receiving door, (2) specifying a sequence and a schedule of outbound trucks at the shipping door, and (3) determining the routes of the outbound truck while serving c...

In the operation of imported container area yard, fault yard crane often occurs, and is random unpredictable, which greatly affects operational efficiency yard. To improve this paper studies rescheduling optimization problem multi-container multi-yard when faults occur in lifting operations import area. Considering different impacts conditions on operation, impact judgment mechanism established...
