Particle swarm optimization algorithm for the berth allocation problem

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for the dynamic berth allocation problem.

• Two sets of benchmark instances were tested and results were compared with other leading algorithms.

• Our PSO is able to obtain the optimal solutions in shorter computational time than other methods.
