Dredging projects selection when the random shoaling effect is considered
项目名称: Dredging projects selection when the random shoaling effect is considered
摘要: Dredging is a constant operation to maintain the waterway shipping capacity along the rivers, coastal lines as well as ports and harbors. The goal is to achieve a maximum network capacity to support the regional and national economies within the range of a given budget. Shoaling happens after dredging to partially offset or undermine the dredging benefits. Wisely spending the dredging budget for a network capacity by considering the shoaling effect is the objective of this proposed research. This proposal assumes shoaling at each location/section follows a known probability distribution with a given draft. It will build on earlier models and algorithms developed by the research team to propose optimality based stochastic model and algorithms for this particular problem, which specially considers interdependency of project effects on the network. This project expects to complement other researchers’ earlier work that adopts discrete scenario based optimization method through simulation.
