Abstract :
This paper presents a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model for the vehicles scheduling problem. A dynamic programming algorithm is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problem. This method can reduce the needed trailers without in creasing the overall dwell time of the ship in port, and decrease un productive empty travel. Further, the numerical result of a small sized problem is reported.
