Abstract

Aiming at the design issues of reservation quota methods and no-show vehicle reservice strategies in truck reservation systems, the decision-making method combining data-driven and mathematical modeling was proposed. This method revealed the causal relationship between the arrival distribution of external trucks and their total turnover time in the port by analyzing historical data at the port gate, and established an optimization model aimed at minimizing the total turnover time in the external truck port. On this basis, the optimized truck reservation quota scheme was utilized to evaluate and make decisions on the reservice strategies of no-show vehicles reservice in various scenarios by using simulation to consider the actual arrival situation of vehicles in the event of no-show. The empirical analysis results of port Y indicate that the data-driven decision-making method proposed not only improves the authenticity and accuracy of the model results, but also shortens the total turnover time of outbound trucks in the port, and reasonably arranges the reservice plan of no-show vehicles. In addition, this method has the advantage of analyzing and making decisions based on the actual situation of specific ports, and can ensure that the container truck reservation quota scheme and no-show reservice strategy are consistent with the actual situation of the port.
