A Flexible Scheduling Mode of Gantry Cranes for Railway Container Terminal. Issue 5 (March 2019) - Xie, Mei
Abstract: This paper discusses problem about improving the utilization ratio of gantry cranes, accelerating the container circulating of railway container terminal, at the same time, reducing the waiting time of trains and trucks in the station. We mainly study at the mode named multi-line flexible range loading and unloading hybrid scheduling. In the case of two train lines and the truck line, the working area of gantry crane is unlimited. This mode is proposed for sequence optimization of gantry crane loading and unloading simultaneously, as well as shortening the accomplishing time of the most difficult task for the all gantry cranes.
