Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
A major drawback of the current literature on container loading is the lack of consideration of many practical issues. The weight distribution of the cargo is one such aspect which has been largely ignored. The paper considers postprocessing approaches to tackle this problem. A new container loading heuristic is put forward in this context and is evaluated against several existing approaches. It is demonstrated that the procedure proposed is capable of producing loading arrangements which combine high space utilisation with an even weight distribution of the cargo.
