Effective allocation and utilization of vehicle space is one of the most critical problems in logistics. Often this problem is modeled using the three-dimensional bin packing problem which allows for ...

Recent studies on solving the container loading problem utilise heuristics as solution methods. Heuristics offer computationally less expensive solutions, however, they are not optimal solutions.

Container loading and packing optimisation constitute a critical area of research in logistics and supply chain management, focussing on the efficient arrangement of items within containers to ...

Abstract: The stack loading problem has been studied in recent years for its great impact on the container loading and unloading operations. Among different objectives of the problem considered, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to solve the Container Loading Problem (CLP) where a set of rectangular boxes of different sizes are packed into a single ...
