Abstract

Abstract: Rail mounted gantry crane (RMGC) scheduling is vital to handling efficiency in rail-truck transshipment terminals. In this paper, we propose an optimization model for RMGC scheduling problem based on a dual cycle mode. A genetic algorithm is designed to obtain the optimization handling sequence. Computational experiments on a specific rail-truck transshipment terminal show that the proposed method is effective to solve RMGC scheduling problems in rail-truck transshipment terminals.
