Integrated Berth and Crane Scheduling Problem Considering Crane Coverage in Multi-Terminal Tidal Ports under Uncertainty

In this work, we study the integrated berth and crane scheduling problem in a tidal port with multiple terminals, considering the uncertainties, tides, maximum coverage DMSO of cranes and interference between cranes.For coping with the uncertainties, a certain number of randomly generated samples are used to evaluate the solutions, and slack variab
