Assignment Problem; Pick-up and deliveries; weight and balance problem
Résumé :
[en] This research aims to develop a new mixed integer linear program to solve the containers
assignment problem when pickup and deliveries are considered. Given a pool of ULDs and an
aircraft with multiple destinations, we want to obtain a loading plan determining at which
positions the ULDs must be assigned in order to minimize simultaneous the quantity of fuel
consumed and the number of re-handles. The loading plan should also ensure a number of
structural, safety and manoeuvrability constraints. The model has been tested on real instances
and provides encouraging results.
