The operation of the Three Gorges ship lift and the change of multi - lane cascade joint operation environment pres- ents a new challenge to the joint operation problem between the Three Gorges ship lift and cascade ship lock, and lock chamber scheduling is an important part of the solution to the problem. On the basis of the existing traditional algorithms, the lock cham- ber scheduling algorithm of Three Gorges and Gezhouba ship locks based on genetic algorithm is put forward, and the algorithm solving process including algorithm code element, strategy selection, crossover operator and mutat...
