Abstract: Abstract After analyzing operational process for container terminal, the design employs a role Agent for each operation that coordinates with neighbouring role Agent. The structure of logistic operational integrated system based on Multi-Agent for container terminal is established via computation Agent, and the working process of operational role Agent is demonstrated. The computation Agent coordination model is designed. Based on the analysis of conflict of logistic operation for container terminal, integration mechanisms for adjacent operation role via the combination of game theory and Q-learning are proposed. Numerical experiment in container terminal about the adjacent operation integration between yard trailer and quay-crane testifies the validity of the integration. It helps improve the system’s reliability.
