[[alternative]]A Study on e-Government Service Quality for optimizing International Cargo-Transport with Genetic Algorithm

[[abstract]]The Executive Yuan of Taiwan decided to build a commercial port charge system in 2003 for matching "Challenging 2008: National Development Crucial Plan”. Among this big project, a "Marine Port Information System” including "Maritime Transportation Net (MTNet)" was designed to substitute the original payment flow and information flow system. The service management systems of several important harbors such as Keelung harbor, Taichung harbor, Kaohsiung harbor, and Hualien harbor offices were asked to be improved with Single Sign On service as shown in this study. Since the transshipping time and line selection are unpredictable for any consumer when they log in MTNet, the Genetic algorithm is better to be used to find an optimal solution as soon as possible for marine consumers. The results of this study were shown that the decision time of export or import line selection can be reduced with genetic algorithm and the payment processing can be known earlier before shipping their cargo. The fitness function developed in this study with statistical method can be used to find both local and global optimal values for cargo transportation. Key words: Genetic algorithm, International cargo transportation, MTNet
