Genetic procedure for the Single Straddle Carrier Routing Problem
International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications(IJACSA), (2012)Abstract
This paper concentrates on minimizing the total travel time of the Straddle Carrier during the loading operations of outbound containers in a seaport container terminal. Genetic Algorithm is well-known meta-heuristic approach inspired by the natural evolution of the living organisms. Heuristic procedure is developed to solve this problem by recourse to some genetic operators. A numerical experimentation is carried out in order to evaluate the performance and the efficiency of the solution.
