have a sleeping berth behind the driver’s seat so the person can rest at travel centers during these federally mandated driver restorativesleep periods. Driver and public motor safety is the primary concern influencing HOS regulation. Understanding the factors that may contribute to commercial vehicle operator health and performance are important for guiding future regulations. Currently, occup...

The Berth Allocation Problem (BAP) consists on programming and allocating ships to berthing areas along a quay. The BAP is modeled as a vehicle routing problem and a recently proposed evolutionary hybrid method denominated PTA/LP is used to solve it. The PTA/LP combines the Population Training Algorithm with Linear Programming to generate improving incoming columns in a column generation proces...

This paper elaborates the different operations research methods used to solve container terminal operational decisions including terminal design, berth allocation, quay crane assignment, quay crane scheduling, container storage space allocation, container location assignment, retrieval, and premarshalling, as well as resource scheduling and terminal logistics in general. Solution methods includ...

This article deals with the extremely difficult problem faced by a large number of smaller ports: how to enable small container terminals simultaneously receive two ships post-Panamax size, and at same time provide effective transshipment operations on an individual terminal subsystem, which would fast turnaround ship in port possibility increase annual traffic. For this purpose, simulation app...

Berth allocation problems are amongst the most important occurring in port terminals, and they greatly affected by several unpredictable events. As a result, study of these under uncertainty has been target more researchers. Following this research line, we consider berth problem uncertain handling times. A distributionally robust two-stage model is presented to minimize worst-case expected sum...
