Abstract:With the uncertainty of vessel arrival time and marketing demand, a disruption management based method is developed for resources allocation problem at import/export container terminals in periodic environment. Considering the existed periodic template, a dynamic decision framework based on 2-stage approximation is proposed, including the fixed decisions to be executed in the 1st stage and adjustable pre-decisions in the 2nd stage. For reducing the fluctuation in execution process, the objective is set to minimize the weighted deviation in both temporal and spatial aspects. A double nested tabu search is provided to illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed model and algorithms. Results indicate that 2-stage decision framework can better cope with the impact of disruption events comparing with traditional methods.
