Abstract

This paper uses the multi-objective rep-guided hydrological cycle optimization (MORHCO) algorithm to solve the Integrated Container Terminal Scheduling (ICTS) Problem. To enhance the global search capability of the algorithm and improve the quality of the Pareto front, MORHCO algorithm employs both elite flow operators and merit-based evaporation as well as precipitation operators to enhance its performance. Two test functions and the ICTS problem are used to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show that MORHCO algorithm significantly outperforms the original MOHCO algorithm and the four selected algorithms on the test functions as well as the ICTS problem. This is the first time that HCO algorithm has been applied to the solution of the NP-hard problem.
