Abstract
En 中文
• Real-world roll-on/roll-off ship terminal operations are affected by stochastic uncertainty. • We present a sequential decision process and feature-based policy function approximations for explainable decision-making. • Compared to benchmark policies, the proposed policies reduce the ship’s turnaround time by 8.8%. • Information on process completion times has the potential to reduce turnaround time by an additional 8%. • Information on the incoming ship’s stowage plan is an important precondition for achieving such reductions.
