Abstract: To improve the working efficiency of Automated Guided Vehicle（AGV） and yard crane, and reduce the mutual waiting time for connection between them, a joint scheduling model for container terminal AGV and yard crane with buffer zone setting is established. The corresponding scheduling scheme and the completion time with the goal of minimizing the sum of the job delay time, AGV total travelling time and AGV waiting time of the yard crane are obtained by solving the example with genetic algorithm. The results of scheduling scheme completion time are compared for different cache capacity settings. The experimental results show that the setting of cache can effectively reduce the waiting time between AGV and yard crane connection operation, while the capacity of cache area within a certain range has a great impact on the completion time of the job.
