| Summary: | The ongoing issues in global supply chain disruptions have raised many concerns of port productivity, among which port congestion is a key issue. This article implements an integrated tactical–operational optimization framework which raises the capabilities of port information systems to deliver smarter decision-making processes in ports through a decision support system. To this end, we developed a library of multiple smart models for the optimization of port operations, independently engaged in parallel but mathematically coordinated to achieve autonomous real-time distributed optimization, using a novel event-driven structure to enable future implementations using digital twins. The framework was tested to benchmark different commercial solvers on several real instances for the port under study. The results show a strong improvement in port operational planning. |
