Optimization of Port Emergency Materials Dispatch with Time Windows Constraints under Uncertainties

Uncertainties exist and affect the actual port production. For example, at the beginning of 2020, the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 seriously affected terminal production and increased the short-term pressure of handling at container terminals. Consequently, a large number of containers were stacked a...
