Optimization of Gantry Cranes’ Operation Path for Transshipment Based on Improved TSP

Optimization of Gantry Cranes’ Operation Path for Transshipment Based on Improved TSP

In order to improve the transshipment efficiency of transit containers in the port or the port-type railway network container freight station (PRNCS) with the condition that each transit container matches a railway flat-car, this paper studied the optimization of operation path of the rail mounted g...
