Abstract
En 中文
This paper introduces and investigates the Online Container Relocation Problem, where containers have to be retrieved from a bay in a container terminal so as to minimize the number of relocations. Unlike the offline version of the problem, the order of container retrievals is revealed one at a time in an online fashion. We analyze the so-called leveling heuristic using the perspective of worst-case competitive analysis of online algorithms and derive its competitive ratio. We then provide some computational experiments which give insights on the actual average performance of the heuristic. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
