OPTIMIZATION OF UNIT LOAD FORMATION TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE MASS OF PACKAGING UNITS
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2014, Vol 32, Issue 4
Abstract
This article presents a mathematical formulation of the optimization problem of loading unit formation taking into account the mass of packaging units. Proposed model can be applied to optimize the arrangement of non-uniform cubical loading units in loading spaces. The model ensures possibility of defining various dimensions, masses, resistances of particular packaging units and their vertical axis rotation. Within the constraints of formulating optimization problem, taking into account masses and resistances ensures that all packaging units will rest on a pallet or on other packaging units, and the surface of contact between loading units guarantees stability of units arranged in subsequent layers. The mathematical model was verified. The paper provides an appropriate calculation example.<br/><br/>
