Those transports amount to about 100000 km a year at the Container Terminal of the Hamburger Hafen- und Lagerhaus AG. Different methods for the routing of the vehicles (Straddle Carriers) were tested to minimize no-load ways. Heuristics solving theMultiple Travelling Salesman Problem were applied to the routing problem as well as a method forsequencing insertions in printed circuit board assemblies andrules for machine scheduling. Simulation with real data indicated a total saving of 20–35% in no-load distances which correspond to about 20000 km a year. The routing solution was implemented into a radio data transmission system.
