Abstract: In order to further improve the loading rate of the ferry, improve the economic benefits of the ferry company, formulate a more scientific and reasonable ferry loading scheme, combined with the original ferry process, the intelligent ferry loading process is designed, and the ferry loading model is established. Based on the two-dimensional packing BL algorithm, a ferry loading algorithm is designed, which can automatically calculate and determine the deck parking position of cars. The best loading scheme is obtained through comparison and iteration. The ferry intelligent loading system is designed to directly output the deck vehicle parking position map, and the intelligent loading is realized. Taking the historical data of G company as an example, the correctness and effectiveness of the mathematical model and algorithm are verified by comparing various ferry intelligent loading schemes. The results show that the loading rate is increased by 7.46% and the revenue is increased by 15.7%, which can effectively improve the loading rate of car ferry and the economic benefit of car ferry company.

Key words: car ferry, car ferry loading model, BL algorithm, two dimensional packing
