Abstract. In this article we are particularly interested in optimizing the assignment of containers of different sizes to wagons on a train while respecting the business constraints. We present a model of the problem based on Constraint Programming (CP) techniques.
In this paper, we are interested in one hand to review a set of problems encountered in logistics, and in a second hand to highlight the contribution of Constraint Programming, Metaheuristics and numerical solvers using non-linear inequalities in solving them. One of the objectives is to address a panorama of bin packing applications in logistics and their embedding in cloud computing.
