Hey guys,
We have parking lot, and have chosen a specific area of 160x36ft to redesign its parking spaces. This area will not including marginal space for backing out etc, so we can consider it a packing problem. Assuming parking spots are 9x18ft rectangles, how can I solve for optimization? Of course I need to find out my constraints etc. Disclaimer, I am not whatsoever a mathematician. I am simply a user of AutoCAD that was assigned to compare CAD outputs to linear programming.
Let's assume that we use 90, 45, and 60 degree angles. Obviously 90 degree angles would consist of 17 spots across, for a total of 34 in total. I've tried doing my research, and all thesis' show results, but no code or process to getting their results whether in MATLAB, and LINDO etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I know there is no perfect solution, hence optimization.
