Abstract Three-Dimensional Packing Problems (3D-PPs) can be applied to effectively
reduce logistics costs in various areas, such as airline cargo management and warehouse …

The three-dimensional bin packing problem (3D-BPP) plays a critical role in logistics
activities. Prior studies focus on 3D-BPP in cases where bin size is predetermined. However …

This study addresses the pickup capacitated vehicle routing problem with three-dimensional
loading constraints (3L-PCVRP), which combined the container loading problem (CLP) and …

The three-dimensional packing problem, which is a strongly NP-hard problem and extremely
difficult to solve in practice, is a typical issue in container loading. The container loading …

With the development of intelligent logistics technology, some companies began to use
robots instead of humans to load cargo. This paper studies a novel container loading …

We consider a real-world packing problem faced by a logistics company that loads and
ships hundreds of trucks every day. For each shipment, the cargo has to be selected from a …

A hybrid heuristic is proposed to solve a location-routing problem with two-dimensional
loading constraints. This problem appears in military situations and natural disasters in such …

Object packing by a robot has a wide range of applications in the logistics industry. This task
requires the variable size items to be picked from piles one by one and then packed into …

Global logistics are increasingly important owing to shifting paradigm by strategically
focusing on core competences, outsourcing manufacturing to pursue higher value …

Abstract We address the Green Vehicle Routing Problem with Two-Dimensional Loading
Constraints and Split Delivery (G2L-SDVRP), which extends the split delivery vehicle routing …
