A Bloc Heuristic for the Container Loading Problem
référence BibTeX
This paper presents a new heuristic for the container loading problem. This problem arrives when one wants to load a subset of rectangular boxes into a rectangular container such that the volume of the packed boxes is maximized. The basic idea consists to form a lot of blocs composed of identical boxes. A series of blocs are stacked to form piles which are loaded side by side in a section of the container. The container is filled with these sections. Four optimization procedures are utilized along the heuristic: to form the blocs, the piles, the sections and finally to fill the container. The performance of the method is shown by numerical tests over already published data.
