Scheduling of Intelligent and Autonomous Vehicles under pairing/unpairing collaboration strategy in container terminals

A new class of Intelligent and Autonomous Vehicles (IAVs) has been designed in the framework of Intelligent Transportation for Dynamic Environment (InTraDE) project funded by European Union. This type of vehicles is technologically superior to the existing Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), in many respects. They offer more flexibility and intelligence in maneuvering within confined spaces where the logistic operations take place. This includes the ability of pairing/unpairing enabling a pair of 1-TEU (20-foot Equivalent Unit) IAVs dynamically to join, transport containers of any size between 1-TEU and 1-FFE (40-foot Equivalent) and disjoin again. Deploying IAVs helps port operators to remain efficient in coping with the ever increasing volume of container traffic at ports and eliminate the need for deploying more 40-ft transporters in the very confined area of ports. In order to accommodate this new feature of IAVs, we review and extend one of the existing mixed integer programming models of AGV scheduling in order to minimize the makespan of operations for transporting a set of containers of different sizes between quay cranes and yard cranes. In particular, we study the case of Dublin Ferryport Terminal. In order to deal with the complexity of the scheduling model, we develop a Lagrangian relaxation-based decomposition approach equipped with a variable fixing procedure and a primal heuristics to obtain high-quality solution of instances of the problem.

Value of travel time reliability: A review of current evidence

Travel time reliability is a fundamental factor in travel behavior. It represents the temporal uncertainty experienced by travelers in their movement between any two nodes in a network. The importance of the time reliability depends on the penalties incurred by the travelers. In road networks, travelers consider the existence of a trip travel time uncertainty in different choice situations (departure time, route, mode, and others). In this paper, a systematic review of the current state of research in travel time reliability, and more explicitly in the value of travel time reliability is presented. Moreover, a meta-analysis is performed in order to determine the reasons behind the discrepancy among the reliability estimates.     

贝雷架作为桥梁承重支架应用时的理论分析与实践应用研究

贝雷承重支架与贝雷架便桥在结构布置和受力状态上有较多不同,贝雷架设计与施工不能完全套用贝雷便桥的相关技术参数,因此有必要研究贝雷架作为承重支架时的力学参数和计算方法。根据既有贝雷便桥的容许承载能力计算理论,通过对贝雷架力学状态的进一步分析,提出了容许承载能力折减计算方法。同时根据贝雷支架的施工特点。指出了贝雷架作为承重支架应用时的荷载取值、纵横向布置方法和具体实践要点,形成了一套较为完善的贝雷支架应用理念,既保证了结构的安全,又节约了材料,对今后的施工有一定的指导意义。

铁路车站股道运用排序模型与算法

遵守车站股道运用条件,在引入时间窗、权重和有限度3个参数的基础上,利用排序理论构建车站股道运用排序模型。结合列车在车站的实际作业过程和进路编排,利用启发式算法对模型求解,得到股道运用初始方案。基于排序原则选择、进路编排方式和多方案选优3种解改进策略对股道运用初始方案进行改进,得到股道运用改进方案。利用现代柔性理论,设置1个人—机交互接口,以股道运用可行性为第1优化目标、均衡性为第2优化目标,建立股道运用的柔性模型,按照人—机交互会话的方式进行求解。采用该模型与算法编制的铁路车站股道运用自动编排系统,目前已在广州东站和韶关站初步运用。
