Abstract

Twin overhead shuttle cranes (OSs) transport containers in a rail-based automated container terminal (RACT). Terminal operators separate a job into a main job and an auxiliary job based on a temporary storage location. Since the temporary storage location determines the frequency of the job separations and the workload of each OS, they use simulation-based decision-making to investigate the impact of the interference between the twin OSs. It is time-intensive to optimize an objective function with manually designed experiments, so this study proposes a sequential optimization approach, Bayesian optimization (BO), to determine the optimal temporary storage location within a limited simulation run. The BO adaptively draws the surrogate model of simulation outcomes and actively suggests the most promising solution comparing the current optimal solution. An experiment demonstrates that the BO predicts the outcomes of a RACT simulation and ensures a near-optimal solution within a limited simulation run.
