Abstract

To improve the operation efficiency of container yard, the main factors which influence the optimal allocation of space resources of container yard were analyzed, and the current container stacking patterns were discussed. A two-phase idea for optimizing the allocation of space resources of container yard was proposed. Accordingly, two optimization models, that each of them was for each phase respectively,were presented in order to balance the operation amount of containers among different areas and to minimize the distance between the berth and the yard. The Lingo software was used to solve the two models. Numerical examples demonstrate the validity and practicability of the models.
