Berth Allocation Problem (BAP) dataset

File: BAP-Data.zip

Test data for the paper

Ernst, Andreas T., Ceyda Oğuz, Gaurav Singh, and Gita Taherkhani. “Mathematical models for the berth allocation problem in dry bulk terminals.” Journal of Scheduling 20, no. 5 (2017): 459-473.

For details of the problem and benchmark solution information please refer to the above paper.

Problems are defined in terms of

• A - Arrival time of each vessel (hours since start of planning period)
• P - Processing time for the vessel (hours)
• L - Length of the vessel
• B - Beginning of each tidal window
• E - End of each tidal window

The folder of data sets in inputData/ contains

• .xlsx files: each parameter is in a separate sheet, with 10 instances in 10 columns
• .dat files: for use with OPL studio files for running the integer programming solution method
• .csv files: simpler text format files with each vector of data on one line

In addition the OPL studio source code used for the paper is provided in .mod files

There are 900 instances however only 400 have been converted into csv format.
