title = "A Tabu Search algorithm for loading containers on double-stack cars",
abstract = "This study explores a multi-objective optimization for loading containers on double-stack cars that considers safety issues including lowering the center-of-gravity height and balancing the wheelsets{\textquoteright} load of the loaded cars. To effectively solve this problem, a Tabu Search algorithm with 2-opt and Tabu list techniques is designed to obtain the close-to-optimal solutions to the problem. In this study, two experimental cases are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm and its computational accuracy by comparing with the exact solution strategy proposed in our previous study. The experimental results indicate that the Tabu Search algorithm can obtain the optimal solutions to the double-stack car loading problem more efficiently.",
