Robust Metaheuristics under Uncertainty for Berth Allocation and Quay Crane Assignment: A Review

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2608.19214v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The berth allocation and quay crane assignment problem (BACAP) is a representative port-terminal scheduling problem in maritime transportation and freight logistics, where vessel arrivals, berth positions, service durations, and quay?crane availability are tightly coupled. Under uncertainties such as arrival deviations, handling-time fluctuations, and resource disruptions, schedules optimized under nominal assumptions may become fragile during execution, motivating the study of robust metaheuristic optimization for BACAP in port-terminal operations. Although population-based metaheuristics have been widely used for BACAP and related port-scheduling problems, existing studies remain fragmented in their uncertainty repre?sentations, robustn
