Title
Truck scheduling in a multi-door cross-docking center with partial unloading – Reinforcement learning-based simulated annealing approaches
Abstract
•A truck scheduling problem in a multi-door cross-docking center is studied.•Inbound trucks can be partially unloaded and can be used as outbound trucks.•A new heuristic algorithm is developed to find initial solutions in a short time.•An RL-based SA algorithm with some tailor-made neighborhood structures is proposed.•Numerical results show that partial unloading can reduce makespan tangibly.
