A distributed simulation-based optimization method is proposed to solve the operating resource allocation problem in container terminals,which usually requires huge computational effort.Firstly,the mathematical model for simulation-based optimization was constructed,then the model was formulated as a distributed simulation-based optimization model.Secondly,the system architecture for simulation based on high level architecture(HLA) was built,and the problem for time composition and node assignment is analyzed.Finally,a practical example is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.The numerical results show that this method can both get the same optimal solutions as with the centralized simulation-based optimization method and reduce the running time with high efficiency for optimal resource allocation in container terminals.This method provides a new approach for the time efficiency bottleneck in simulation-based optimization of complex logistics system.
