In this paper we present a novel biased random-key genetic algorithm (BRKGA) for 2D and 3D bin packing problems. The approach uses a maximal-space representation to manage the free spaces in the bins. The proposed algorithm hybridizes a novel placement procedure with a genetic algorithm based on...
