Abstract:The allocation of quay cranes and yard trucks is related to the efficiency of the container terminal which is important to the handing of container. According to the division pile up of the container yard and berths’loading and unloading requirements, the quay cranes operation time and container trucks transportation time are considered. To improve the efficiency of the container terminal, this paper puts forward the cooperation optimization model of quay cranes and container trucks, so as to minimize the total time. The results of the model prove that the optimized model is helpful for the decision-making of port management.
