Um framework para apoiar especialistas no problema de recuperação de contêineres em terminais portuários

Abstract

With the use of containers in port terminals, the challenge arises of handling them in order to obtain a shorter time for operations. Among the problems encountered in this context, the Container Recovery Problem stands out, which seeks to determine a sequence of operations with containers performed in a yard bay using cranes. Given the number of optimization algorithms found in the literature, a strategy that allows the construction of solutions is necessary. The objective of this work is to identify an alternative capable of assisting specialists in building solutions. Through a literature review, it was possible to observe the need for a generic and easily integrated framework. To verify the framework's behavior, two algorithms were integrated: PRC_GREEDY and PRC_CONSTRUCTIVE. The results showed the solutions found by the technique and the time spent executing the instances adopted from the literature. Through the framework, it was possible to visualize and analyze the generated solutions, which allowed us to verify the impact of the solutions applied to the problem.
