Abstract
This problem is to optimizeThis research is partly supported by State Key Program of National Natural Science Foundation of China (71032004), the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (N090104002, N100704002) and by the 111 Project under Grant B08015. the layout design of blocks in new container yard. The yard cranes have restrictions on the width of blocks, and the layout of blocks and berths also have important impact on the driving route of yard trucks. Making use of bays, the lengths of blocks are discretized. An integer programming model is proposed for this problem, whose objective is to maximize the efficiency of trucks and the number of bays. In this model, there is also a lower bound on the minimum number of bays. Based on the characteristics of this model, a Filter-and-Fan algorithm is developed to solve this problem. The experimental results show the effectiveness of algorithm.
