Research On Modeling Methodology And Optimization Theory For Logistics Operation System Of Container Terminal

The modeling and optimization theory and technology are playing the key roles in modern Container Terminal Logistics Operation System (CTLOS). Based on the both of technology and theory, the simulation system, the intelligent optimal management system, and real time integrated automation control system can be implemented in CTLOC, so that the produce management mode of part are changed from traditional batch-operation mode to the modern operation mode with the optimal, dynamical and integrated features.For low cost and high efficiency of CTLOS, combining working experiences and the modern control theory, some typical systems of CTLOS are studied, the main contributions are given as follows:1. The model of operation process of CTLOS is established, the optimization performance of CTLOS is presented, and the optimal system frame is designed.2. The following sub-systems about CTLOS are presented.Firstly, the Seaside Operation Sub-ystem(SOS) is designed, to obtain the shortest time at berth as a target, and propose a Dynamic Berth Allocation Problem (DBAP) model in terms of Quay Crane (QC) allocation; to obtain the shortest vessel delay time as a target and build a Ship Reliability Problem (SRP) model in consideration of QC allocation and the dynamic berth planning; to obtain the lowest re-stowing rate as a target and propose a Vessel Stowage Problem (VSP) model; to obtain the fewest vessel operation time and propose a QC Dispatch Problem (QCDP) model in terms of QC work split and work sequence.Secondly, Yard Operation Sub-system(YOS) is designed, to obtain a shortest horizontal truck distance and a balanced operational volume for each block as the target and propose the five day rolling and Dynamic Yard Allocation Problem (DYAP) model; to obtain a lowest re-stowing rate and a balanced operational volume for the entire block and propose a Yard Code Point Problem (YCPP) model based on a mixed stacking rule; to obtain the shortest Rubber Tyre Gantry (RTG) travel time and finish all yard operation activities within one gang time as a target and propose a RTG Yard Operation Controlling (YOC) model.Thirdly, Ground Vehicle Operation Sub-system(GVOS) is presented, to obtain fewest traffic congestion in the yard and water apron and the shortest tuck distance to finish vessel operations as a target and propose a Dynamic Truck Dispatch Problem (DTDP) model; to obtain a shortest driving distance when the truck empty laden under the operational model of QC discharging and loading simultaneously and truck with full laden condition either discharge or load and propose a shortest Truck Routing Problem (TRP) model.Fourthly, Landside Operation Sub-system(LOS) is developed, to obtain the fewest in and out-gate lanes opened within one period of time after comparing four algorithms for gatehouse lanes and propose the lane allocation dispatch model algorithm.Finally, combining with the traditional financial method and terminal operation management theory, the optimization schemes of CTLOS are integrated, it's an effective tool for saving energy and reducing emission in terminal industry to face up the global economic crisis.3. The optimal processing control strategy of metallurgy industry is applied to CTLOS.4. The above proposed scheme are integrated, the real time management system of CTLOS is implemented.
