With the rising efficiency demand and intelligence trend of the container terminals (CTs), horizontal transportation could be a vital bottle neck of terminal operations. In artificial terminals, Internal trucks (ITs) is the most common and versatile horizontal equipment, the efficiency of ITs affects horizontal transportation efficiency greatly. With sharing ITs among multiple CTs located nearby, the IT resource could be allocated in a wider range to further improve handling efficiency. In this paper, we proposed a multi-objective MIP model for IT allocation, and a Hungarian Algorithm is introduced to solve the problem in a preferable period of time. Numerical experiment shows that, the proposed model and Hungarian Algorithm are efficient to achieve the optimal allocation solution.
