In this paper, an approach based on the joint use of mathematical programming and agent-based techniques is exploited in the context of maritime logistics. In particular, a transshipment terminal is considered with the goal of planning the container transportation between the yard and the quay during the loading\/discharging operations of a containership by exploiting a pool of straddle carriers shared among the quay cranes. The goal is to route the straddle carriers by determining a sequence of container movements for each of them in order to optimize a given performance criterion. In particular, a new dispatching model is proposed and evaluated through an agent-based simulation model which also made it possible a better understanding of interesting properties of the problem under consideration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549714566699","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,11]],"date-time":"2015-02-11T00:05:29Z","timestamp":1423613129000},"page":"181-202","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Agent-based simulation for the evaluation of a new dispatching model for the straddle carrier pooling problem"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"Alfredo","family":"Garro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica, Modellistica, Elettronica e Sistemistica, Universit\u00e0 della Calabria, Rende, Italy"}]},{"given":"Maria Flavia","family":"Monaco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica, Modellistica, Elettronica e Sistemistica, Universit\u00e0 della Calabria, Rende, Italy"}]},{"given":"Wilma","family":"Russo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica, Modellistica, Elettronica e Sistemistica, Universit\u00e0 della Calabria, Rende, Italy"}]},{"given":"Marcello","family":"Sammarra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto di Calcolo e Reti ad Alte Prestazioni, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Rende, Italy"}]},{"given":"Gregorio","family":"Sorrentino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica, Modellistica, Elettronica e Sistemistica, Universit\u00e0 della Calabria, Rende, Italy"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0037549714566699","volume-title":"Integer Programming","author":"Wolsey LA","year":"1998"},{"key":"bibr2-0037549714566699","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compchemeng.2003.09.017"},{"key":"bibr3-0037549714566699","volume-title":"An Introduction to MultiAgent Systems","author":"Wooldridge M","year":"2002"},{"key":"bibr4-0037549714566699","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1st KES International Symposium on Agent and Multi-Agent Systems: Technologies and Applications (KES-AMSTA\u201907)","author":"Davidsson P"},{"key":"bibr5-0037549714566699","first-page":"14","author":"Fortino G","journal-title":"Proceedings of the WOA 2007 -
