Fuzzy containers allocation problem in maritime terminal
Abstract: Containers
allocation in terminals has attracted lots of research works due to practical
& theoretical importance in transportation literature. In this paper, we
developed a fuzzy mathematical programming model for solving problem of
allocating the containers in terminal area. The objective is minimizing the
total distance traversed by the containers from the ship to the terminal area
they are assigned. Fuzzy set concepts are used to treat imprecision regarding
the distances between berth and terminals area, number of containers in an
arrived ship and estimation of available area in each terminal at a port. We
proposed two types of models for optimistic and pessimistic situations. The
proposed models have been coded in LINGO8.0 solver and a numerical example has
been solved for illustration purpose. The full analysis of the proposed models
can cause an optimum allocation of containers of several ships to different
terminals of berths in fuzzy environment.
