Abstract

Ports within the international logistics and supply chain system
constitute an important link of transport main activity. Port operations
directly and indirectly affect all logistics processes. It is necessary to
optimize these processes considering the increasing inter-port competition.
Especially the efficiency of quay cranes used in port operations has an important
effect on the port capacity and the waiting time of the vessels in ports. Thus,
many models have been proposed to obtain optimal efficiency from quay crane
operations. The study aims to examine and discuss the models proposed in the
literature to solve the quay crane scheduling problem in the container
terminals.
As a result
of the bibliometric analysis, it has been understood that the genetic algorithm
is the most frequently used solution algorithm in the 21 different solution
methods used in the proposed models. It has also been determined that
artificial intelligence is the most preferred approach. The research also
reveals that the rapidly developing technology has a direct impact on the
infrastructure of ports, that ports need fast handling cranes and that
innovative solution models should be developed in this direction.

KONTEYNER TERMİNALLERİNDE RIHTIM VİNCİ ÇİZELGELEME PROBLEMİNİN ÇÖZÜMÜNE YÖNELİK ÖNERİLEN MODELLER ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

Uluslararası lojistik ve tedarik zinciri sistemi
içinde yer alan limanlar ulaştırma ana faaliyetinin önemli bir halkasını
oluşturmaktadır. Liman operasyonları tüm lojistik süreçlerini doğrudan ve
dolaylı olarak etkilemektedir. Artan limanlar arası rekabet de göz önünde
bulundurulduğunda bu süreçlerin optimal hale getirilmesi gerekliliği ortaya
çıkmaktadır. Özellikle liman operasyonlarında kullanılan rıhtım vinçlerinin
verimliliği liman kapasitesi ve gemilerin limanda bekleme süresi üzerinde
önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Buradan hareketle, rıhtım vinci operasyonlarından
optimal verim elde edebilmek için birçok model önerilmiştir. Bu çalışmada,
literatürde yer alan konteyner terminallerinde rıhtım vinci çizelgeleme
probleminin çözümüne yönelik önerilen modellerin incelenmesi ve bu modeller
üzerine tartışma yapılması amaçlanmaktadır. Yapılan bibliyometrik analiz
neticesinde, önerilen modellerde kullanılan 21 farklı
çözüm metodu içinde, genetik algoritmanın en sık kullanılan çözüm algoritması
olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Yapay zekanın ise en çok tercih edilen yaklaşım tipi
olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmada ayrıca hızla gelişen teknolojinin
limanların altyapılarını doğrudan etkilediği, limanların daha hızlı elleçleme
yapabilen vinçlere ihtiyaç duyduğu ve bu doğrultuda rıhtım vinci
çizelgelemesine yönelik yenilikçi çözüm modellerinin geliştirilmesi gerektiği
ortaya çıkmıştır.
