Abstract:Export container slots allocation is a key problem of container port operation management. Focusing on the
dynamic uncertainty of export container delivery time, a two-stage scheduling strategy is proposed, and the problem is
decomposed into bay allocation in yard and slot allocation in bays, whose object is minimizing the distance of gantry crane
and the reshuffle. According to characteristics of two-level scheduling strategy, solving algorithm is developed based on
Tabu-search. Experiments show that, the proposed method can efficiently improve allocation effect by dynamic uncertain
information, and the algorithm can get the satisfied solution in reasonable time.a
