      A heuristic solution for the empty container substitution problem 

      Chang, H.; Jula, H.; Chassiakos, Anastassios; Ioannou, Petros A. (2008)
      This paper studies substitution between empty containers of different types in an attempt to reduce the cost of empty container interchange. Since finding an optimal solution requires substantial computational efforts, a ...

      Port dynamic empty container reuse 

      Jula, H.; Chassiakos, Anastassios; Ioannou, Petros A. (2006)
      In this paper, empty container movements in the Los Angeles and Long Beach (LA/LB) port area are studied in an effort to reduce congestion by optimizing the empty container reuse. The dynamic empty container reuse is modeled ...
