Storage Space Allocation of Inbound Container in Railway Container Terminal

Table 4

Comparison between OA and RAA in 1 day.

Planning period	Our approach (OA)		Random allocation algorithm (RAA)		GAP1	GAP2
	Imbalance amounts	Overlapping amounts	Imbalance amounts	Overlapping amounts
1	3	2	7	9	57.1%	77.8%
2	7	8	11	14	36.3%	42.9%
3	11	14	18	21	38.8%	33.3%
4	8	10	13	17	38.4%	41.2%

Notes: GAP₁ = (imbalance amounts obtained from RAA − imbalance amounts obtained from OA) * 100/imbalance amounts obtained from RAA.
GAP₂ = (overlapping amounts obtained from RAA − overlapping amounts obtained from OA) * 100/overlapping amounts obtained from RAA.
