Abstract: A method and system are provided where a module employing reinforcement learning (RL) can learn to solve the vehicle selection and space allocation problems for the transportation and/or storage of goods. In one embodiment, a method includes: (a) obtaining a specification of a load that includes enclosures of one or more enclosure types, and the specification includes, for each enclosure type: (i) dimensions of an enclosure of the enclosure type, and (ii) a number of enclosures of the enclosure type. The method also includes (b) obtaining a specification of vehicles of one or more vehicle types, where the specification includes, for each vehicle type: (i) dimensions of space available within a vehicle of the vehicle type, and (ii) a number of vehicles of the vehicle type that are available for transportation. The method further includes (c) providing a simulation environment for simulating loading of a vehicle.
