Description
This is a simple sample CT 2.0 model that shows an example of using a Custom Search in the Yard Planner's Container Placement strategies.
There is a "RandomWheeledBlock" custom search strategy that is used with the wheeled blocks area to choose a random block to put the container. The code loops through each block in the area with the assumption that every block in the area is a wheeled block.
There is also a "RandomBlock" weighted search that is used with the yard blocks area to choose a random block to put containers there.
In this model, imports are discharged from ships, stored in the yard blocks, and then leave through the gate. Exports are brought in through the gate, stored in wheeled blocks, and then are loaded onto ships.
