Abstract: | Inland vessels move goods along canals and rivers and
they visit ports. Due to tides on the rivers, the vessels
make use of locks to enter ports or canals. From a port
management point of view, a fast access to and from
the port and high utilisation of a lock are important
objectives. The policy to access the lock works as
follows. Vessels wait in front of the lock. A port
administrator assigns a place in the lock based on the
knowledge of the vessels’ dimensions. As such, there
is no FIFO-discipline, but a ‘group-FIFO’-discipline,
i.e. if n vessels are allowed to the lock, they are the
first n vessels in the arrival queue. A heuristic
algorithm is formulated for the placement of vessels in
the lock. This algorithm supports the decision where to
place the vessel in the lock, aiming to place as many
as possible vessels from the arrival queue. The paper
describes the implementation of the heuristic which is
based on a two-dimensional extension of Allen’s
temporal logic. |
