Online Assignments of Containers to Trains Using Constraint Programming

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 7080))

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.
