Pareto clustering search applied for 3D container ship loading plan problem

作者:

Highlights:

• Pareto Clustering Search (PCS) is a hybrid method to solve multi-objective problems.

• PCS detects promising areas and applies local search heuristics only in these areas.

• We apply the PCS to solve the 3D Container ship Loading Plan Problem (CLPP).

• The PCS provides better solutions for the CLPP than mono-objective methods.

• Decision maker chooses the solution that best meets their interests in a situation.
