Truck synchronization at single door cross-docking terminals
Authors: Antonino Chiarello, Manlio Gaudioso, Marcello Sammarra
Journal: OR Spectrum (2018),
URL: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00291-018-0510-x
Abstract: We address the problem of synchronizing the loading and discharging operations of trucks at a particular cross-docking center, with one door at both the inbound and outbound sides, aiming at minimizing the makespan of the whole process. We propose a mixed integer linear model and a Lagrangian decomposition scheme. We derive conditions for optimally solving both the Lagrangian relaxation and the dual problems. Based on the theoretical results, we propose a Lagrangian heuristic for computing many feasible solutions and gathering the best one among them. An extensive computational experience validates our Lagrangian heuristic, also in comparison with a state-of-the-art benchmark solver and a heuristic algorithm from the literature.

Genoa Shipping week
Third edition of Genoa shipping week will be held from 26 June to, 1 July, 2017. The event will host the Forum on “Port&ShippingTech” the “Shipbrokers and Shipagents Dinner”
CO-GISTIC Final event and demonstration
The University of Trieste and Polytechnic of Bari organized the CO-GISTICS FINAL EVENT AND DEMONSTRATION, which took place on 8th and 9th June 2017 in Trieste.
The CO-GISTICS project is the first European project fully dedicated to the deployment of cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) focused on logistics. In CO-GISTICS, 5 services are deployed in 7 European logistics hubs: Arad (Romania), Bordeaux (France), Bilbao (Spain), Frankfurt (Germany), Thessaloniki (Greece), Trieste (Italy) and Vigo (Spain). CO-GISTICS is funded under the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP).
The opening session was at the Maritime Station of Trieste, including presentations by public authorities and private. Project results was presented as well as discussions on the exploitation and future developments of CO-GISTICS.
The activities and developments of the CO-GISTICS project are strictly connected to other project as the newborn project PRIN SPORT.
A live demonstration of C-ITS logistics services in action showed a preview of the project final results after three years of work and a mini demo was a great opportunity to show the services in an urban area such as the centre of Trieste.

Managing the ship movements in the Port of Venice
Authors: E. Canestrelli, M. Corazza, G. De Nadai, and R. Pesenti

Summary: The new mobile gates at the inlets of the Venice lagoon and the new previous environmental laws issued in response of the Costa Concordia wreckage in 2012 have forced the Port Authority of Venice to rethink the harbor activities. In this paper, we tackle the Port Scheduling Problem that the Port Authority faces in scheduling both ships’ and tugs’ movements within its canal harbor in this new context. We introduce the problem, explain which data it needs, and provide the description of an original heuristic algorithm for its solution. Finally, we present some practical applications..
