Commodity Vehicles Ro-Ro Ship Stowage Optimization With Multi-Port

With the development of auto transportation market and large-scale ships, it will become more and more popular that multi-port commodity car ro-ro ship with multilayer. It will also become exuberant to ro-ro vehicle transport demand. Base on this problem, the ship stowage is defined as multilayer, many types of commodity vehicles, multi loading ports, multi unloading ports. That is to say, it is a multi-stage stowage according to different load ports and unload ports. The vehicles are loaded or unloaded with the better deck or lane in each port according to which port they will get to and how many vehicles will get to the same port. Genetic algorithm is as the main program. Firstly, genetic algorithm is used to assign the vehicles to each deck, in order to get the maximization revenue. Based of that, to meet the practical constraints on the multi-loading heuristic rules, heuristic-variation algorithm is designed which is used in very deck and embedded into the main algorithm. In order to search the optimal solution of the ro-ro ship stowage. And on the basis of this study, developing the commercial vehicle ro-ro ship stowage system to realize the information management with the computer skills.
