Abstract

A novel approach which can solve complex packing problems is proposed. It solves the complex packing problems in two steps: Firstly, the volume-maximizing loading is carried out according to some heuristic rules, and the loading space is divided into many layers according to the cargo in depth direction, and each layer will then be decomposed. Secondly, the position of the center of gravity is adjusted optimally by genetic algorithm, so as to make the packing result more fit for practice. The practical result shows that it is better than other packing approaches in terms of the usage rate of space, the center of gravity and the calculating efficiency.
