In order to efficiently solve the binary optimization problems by using differential evolution
(DE), a class of new transfer functions, Taper-shaped transfer function, is firstly proposed by …

This study examines the local container drayage problem under a semi-autonomous
platooning mode. The benefits of this mode include labor cost saving via the semi …

The local container drayage problem (LCDP) plays an important role in the waterborne
transportation for global trade. Truck platooning is an emerging and promising container …

Tree seed algorithm (TSA) is a recently proposed metaheuristic algorithm for solving
continuous optimization problems. In order to use TSA in binary optimization problems, the …

The paper discusses a containers' drayage by trucks, which is motivated by a real-life
application arising in the intermodal freight transportation. This problem considers not only …

Abstract The Container Drayage Problem (CDP) aims at routing a fleet of trucks, based at a
common terminal, to serve customers while minimizing the total travel distance. Each trip …

Multi-resource constraints in container drayage operations exist widely in real-life scenarios
but have been seldom reported in literature. This study mainly addresses a container …

Full truckload transportation (FTL) in the form of freight containers represents one of the most
important transportation modes in international trade. Due to large volume and scale, in FTL …

This paper addresses drayage routing problems with heterogeneous fleets, compatibility
constraints, and truck load configurations. In these problems, containers can be of any size …

This paper presents a so-called multi-trailer drop-and-pull container drayage (MTDPCD)
problem. The MTDPCD problem allows a tractor to carry multiple trailers and a tractor can …
