Abstract EN
This paper aims to investigate container allocation problem with random freight demands in synchromodal transportation network from container carriers’ perspective.
Firstly, the problem is formulated as a stochastic integer programming model where the overall objective is to determine a container capacity allocation plan at operational level, so that the expected total transportation profit is maximized.
Furthermore, by integrating simulated annealing with genetic algorithm, a problem-oriented hybrid algorithm with a novel gene encode method is designed to solve the optimization model.
Some numerical experiments are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed model and algorithm.
