We address the planning of transportation and storage capacity over time. In intermodal transshipment terminals, finished vehicles are assigned to yard locations for intermediate storage. The evolutionary algorithm proposed evolves a period-oriented capacity utilization strategy. This capacity utilization strategy then controls a construction heuristic which assigns vehicle movements to periods and vehicles to storage locations. It is aimed at efficient operations and at a balanced distribution of vehicle movements over the periods of the planning horizon. © 2007 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
