商品描述

Container terminals are constantly being challenged to adjust their throughput capacity to match fluctuating demand. Examining the optimization problems encountered in today's container terminals, Port Automation and Vehicle Scheduling: Advanced Algorithms for Scheduling Problems of AGVs, Third Edition provides advanced algorithms for handling the scheduling of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in ports.

Building on the earlier editions, previously titled Vehicle Scheduling in Port Automation: Advanced Algorithms for Minimum Cost Flow Problems, this book has undergone extensive revisions and includes two new chapters. New material addresses the solutions to the modeling of decisions in Chapter 3, while in Chapter 11 the authors address an emerging challenge in automated container terminals with integrated management.

Key Features:

  • Classifies the optimization problems of the ports into five scheduling decisions. For each decision, it supplies an overview, formulates each of the decisions as constraint satisfaction and optimization problems, and then covers possible solutions, implementation, and performance.
  • Explores in Part One of the book the various optimization problems in modern container terminals, while details in Part Two advanced algorithms for the minimum cost flow (MCF) problem and for the scheduling problem of AGVs in ports.
  • Offers complete package that can help readers address the scheduling problems of AGVs in ports.

This is a valuable reference for port authorities and researchers, including specialists and graduate students in operation research. For specialists, it provides novel and efficient algorithms for network flow problems. For students, it supplies the most comprehensive survey of the field along with a rigorous formulation of the problems in port automation.

集裝箱碼頭不斷面臨調整吞吐能力以應對波動的需求的挑戰。《Port Automation and Vehicle Scheduling: Advanced Algorithms for Scheduling Problems of AGVs, Third Edition》探討了當今集裝箱碼頭遇到的優化問題，提供了處理港口自動導引車（AGVs）排程的先進算法。

本書在之前的版本《Vehicle Scheduling in Port Automation: Advanced Algorithms for Minimum Cost Flow Problems》的基礎上進行了廣泛修訂，並新增了兩章。新的內容涵蓋了第三章中的決策建模解決方案，以及第十一章中關於集成管理的自動化集裝箱碼頭所面臨的新挑戰。

主要特點：
- 將港口的優化問題分為五個排程決策，為每個決策提供概述，將每個決策制定為滿足約束條件和優化問題，然後介紹可能的解決方案、實施方法和性能。
- 在第一部分中探討現代集裝箱碼頭中的各種優化問題，第二部分詳細介紹了最小成本流（MCF）問題和港口AGVs排程問題的先進算法。
- 提供完整的解決方案，幫助讀者解決港口AGVs排程問題。

這本書對於港口當局和研究人員，包括運營研究的專家和研究生，都是一個有價值的參考資料。對於專家來說，它提供了網絡流問題的新穎高效算法。對於學生來說，它提供了該領域最全面的調查，以及對港口自動化問題的嚴謹表述。
