ABSTRACT

In this study, we propose a genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize the allocation and operation order of transporters. The solution in the GA is represented by a set of lists each of which the operation order of the corresponding transporter. In addition, it was implemented in the form of a hybrid genetic algorithm combining effective local search operations for performance improvement. The local search reduces the number of operating transporters by moving blocks from a transporter with a low workload into that with a high workload. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, it was compared with Multi-Start and a pure genetic algorithm through a simulation environment similar in scale to an actual shipyard. For the largest problem, compared to them, the number of transporters was reduced by 40% and 34%, and the total task time was reduced by 27% and 17%, respectively.
