Optimal planning for container prestaging, discharging, and loading processes at seaport rail terminals with uncertainty
journal contribution
posted on 2023-08-30, 15:41 authored by Ying Xie, Dongping SongThis paper considers the optimal planning problem for container prestaging and dynamic discharging/loading at seaport rail terminals subject to uncertainties. We formulate the problem into a stochastic dynamic programming model to minimise the total logistics cost. Four simplified strategies are proposed. Experiments based on a real case study are performed to compare the optimal strategy with four simplified strategies in terms of cost, computing time and practicality. Results show that the seaport can use prestaging to reduce the cost involved and that an appropriate discharging/loading plan can be created in response to different prestaging situations and uncertain scenarios.
