The Hybrid Approach

Conventional logistics software often struggles with the non-linear dynamics of maritime traffic. This project leverages K-Means clustering to group container attributes into logical clusters based on weight, destination, and priority.

To manage the inherent uncertainty in operational data, a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) was integrated, creating a decision layer that mirrors human expert heuristic reasoning.
