Optimization Approach for Yard Crane Scheduling Problem with Uncertain Parameters in Container Terminals

Algorithm 1

Algorithm of first come first served basis.
Input: information of tasks
(1)Initialize the number of iterations:
(2)The yard is divided into Y areas with similar number of tasks.
(3)While , do:
(4)
(5) The tasks in area are sorted in increase order of time, represented by . Calculate the schedule of yard crane and the objective value .
(6) Generate the sequence of storage tasks in area according to the shortest distance, taking every half an hour for a period. Calculate the schedule of yard crane .
(7) Insert the retrieval tasks in area one by one in order of their arrival time into the sequence . Calculate the schedule of new sequence and the objective value .
(8) If , then
(9)  Optimal_
(10) else
(11)  Optimal_
(12) End if
(13) Add the Optimal_i into the set of optimal solution.
(14)End while
(15)Output the optimal solution.
