A Study on the Agent-Based Vehicles Dispatching Optimization at Container Terminals

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper mainly concentrated on the method of improving the dispatching trucks working at a container terminal and built the multi-agent model for the dispatching job. The contract net protocol was taken as the communication ones among agents, and the analytic hierarchy process was also applied for the decision support for container trucks dispatching.
