摘要

Incorporating AI-powered algorithms into business operations is becoming inevitable to gain a comparative advantage in the global business landscape. In this paper, we minimize the total travel distance and time of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) by coordinating routes and waiting time, using a hybrid method that integrates deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and heuristic search in an automated container terminal (ACT). Modern technology and data analytics provide intelligent, automated solutions for managing port resources such as berths, AGVs, quay cranes, and yard cranes. The deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) and advanced A-star search algorithms are employed, enhancing stochastic sequential decision-making for integrated scheduling and routing of port equipment. Our test results confirm the effectiveness of the hybrid approach for optimizing port resources and services. Decision-making strategies driven by a hybrid algorithm can optimize container handling and improve operational efficiency for competent maritime logistics. This paradigm shift in business operations contributes to the growing field of intelligent port management by paving the way for adaptive and innovative solutions in the maritime logistics industry, enhancing performance and productivity.
