Data for: A decision support system for a capacity management problem at a container terminal

The capacity management problem at a container terminal seeks to balance supply (equipment assignment) and demand (arrivals of trucks) while improving customer service level and productivity indicators. In “A decision support system for a capacity management problem at a container terminal” a DSS is designed to manage traffic flows in a container terminal through proper sizing of truck appointments per time slot.

In that article, the truck appointments are sized depending on the activity generated by vessels (which are usually very well anticipated). Thus, offering fewer truck appointments for busy time slots and more appointments for less busy time slots, regarding the yard resource availability.

In this file are available the complete set of instances used in this paper, as well as additional instances artificially generated based on current data.
