Abstract: Quay crane scheduling problem is one of the most important scheduling problems in container terminals.The existing research results can not calculate the optimal scheduling of large-scale business in the feasible time,so the existing quay crane scheduling algorithms generally adopt heuristic strategies to ensure that scheduling can be calculated in the feasible time.In this paper,firstly,the correctness of the lower bound of completion time is proved theoretically,an optimal scheduling construction method is designed and the theoretical system of quay crane scheduling problem is completed.Secondly,based on the theoretical work,an algorithm of linear time complexity is designed to find the optimal scheduling.Finally,experiments show that the proposed method is significantly better than the existing methods in terms of solution quality and efficiency.

Key words: Linear algorithm, Lower bound of completion time, Optimal solution, Quay crane scheduling
