Abstract
In this thesis the two-dimensional vehicle loading problem is considered: that is, the problem of loading a rectangular deck of size L by W of a ship, drawing from a set of n vehicles. The objective is to maximize the area covered on the deck by the vehicles loaded. A heuristic algorithm is employed to solve the two-dimensional loading problem. A computer-aided vehicle embarkation system (CAVES) is developed using a menu driven micro-computer program designed to assist embarkation personnel to load vehicles on board a ship. CAVES provides the Embarkation Officer the flexibility and portability needed to make real time decisions about vehicle load plans.
