Abstract

This paper addresses storage location assignment for outbound containers. Considering randomness of the containers’ approach time, this study divides the problem into two phases. The first is distribution of blocks and bays for containers based on a rolling plane. The second is to propose a multi-objective optimization model to minimize reshuffling and balance the number of each stack. The Yalmip toolbox of Matlab is used to solve the problem. Experimental results show that proposed method can effectively solve the space allocation problem for outbound containers, and reduce the amount of yard equipment operations. Efficiency of the terminal operation is significantly improved by reducing reshuffling.

Key words： multiobjective mixed integer programming; outbound container; rolling horizon method; yard space allocation
