A Study on Optimizing the Double-Spine Type Flow Path Design for the Overhead Transportation System Using Tabu Search Algorithm

Optimizing Flow Path Design(FPD)is a popular research area in transportation system design,but its application to Overhead Transportation Systems(OTSs)has been limited.This study focuses on optimizing a double-spine flow path design for OTSs with 10 stations by minimizing the total travel distance for both loaded and empty flows.We employ transportation methods,specifically the North-West Corner and Stepping-Stone methods,to determine empty vehicle travel flows.Additionally,the Tabu Search(TS)algorithm is applied to branch the 10 stations into two main layout branches.The results obtained from our proposed method demonstrate a reduction in the objective function value compared to the initial feasible solution.Furthermore,we explore howchanges in the parameters of the TS algorithm affect the optimal result.We validate the feasibility of our approach by comparing it with relevant literature and conducting additional tests on layouts with 20 and 30 stations.

Tabu Search Implementation on Traveling Salesman Problem and Its Variations: A Literature Survey

The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and its allied problems like Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) are one of the most widely studied problems in combinatorial optimization. It has long been known to be NP-hard and hence research on developing algorithms for the TSP has focused on approximate methods in addition to exact methods. Tabu search is one of the most widely applied metaheuristic for solving the TSP. In this paper, we review the tabu search literature on the TSP and its variations, point out trends in it, and bring out some interesting research gaps in this literature.

The P-Median Problem： A Tabu Search Approximation Proposal Applied to Districts

P-median is one of the most important Location-Allocation problems. This problem determines the location of facilities and assigns demand points to them. The p-median problem can be established as a discrete problem in graph terms as： Let G = （V, E） be an undirected graph where V is the set of n vertices and E is the set of edges with an associated weight that can be the distance between the vertices dij= d（vi, Vj） for every i, j =1,...,n in accordance to the determined metric, with the distances a symmetric matrix is formed, finding Vp∈ V such that ｜ Vp｜∈ = p, where p can be either variable or fixed, and the sum of the shortest distances from the vertices in {V-Vp} to their closet vertex in Vp is reduced to the minimum. Under these conditions the P-median problem is a combinatory optimization problem that belongs to the NP-hard class and the approximation methods have been of great aid in recent years because of this. In this point, we have chosen data from OR-Library [1] and we have tested three algorithms that have given good results for geographical data （Simulated Annealing, Variable Neighborhood Search, Bioinspired Variable Neighborhood Search and a Tabu Search-VNS Hybrid （TS-VNS）. However, the partitioning method PAM （Partitioning Around Medoids）, that is modeled like the P-median, attained similar results along with TS-VNS but better results than the other metaheuristics for the OR-Library instances, in a favorable computing time, however for bigger instances that represent real states in Mexico, TS-VNS has surpassed PAM in time and quality in all instances. In this work we expose the behavior of these five different algorithms for the test matrices from OR-Library and real geographical data from Mexico. Furthermore, we made an analysis with the goal of explaining the quality of the results obtained to conclude that PAM behaves with efficiency for the OR-Library instances but is overcome by the hybrid when applied to real instances. On the other hand we have tested the 2 best algorithms （PAM and TS-VNS） with geographic data geographic from Jalisco, Queretaro and Nuevo Leon. In this point, as we said before, their performance was different than the OR-Library tests. The algorithm that attains the best results is TS-VNS.

Tabu search for no-wait flowshop scheduling problem to minimize maximum lateness

In order to solve the no-wait flowshop scheduling problem to minimize the maximum lateness,three job-block-based neighborhoods are proposed,among which the block exchange neighborhood have a size of O（n4）while the block swap and the simplified block exchange neighborhoods have a size of O（n3）.With larger sizes than the existing neighborhoods,the proposed neighborhoods can enhance the solution quality of local search algorithms.Speedup properties for the neighborhoods are developed,which can evaluate a neighbor in constant time and explore the neighborhoods in time proportional to their proposed sizes. Unlike the dominance-rule-based speedup method,the proposed speedups are applicable to any machine number.Three neighborhoods and the union of block swap and the simplified block exchange neighborhoods are compared in the tabu search.Computational results on benchmark instances show that three tabu search algorithms with O（n3）neighborhoods outperform the existing algorithms and the tabu search algorithm with the union has the best performance among all the tested algorithms.

As demonstrated in the simulation results, the performance of the proposed approach outperforms the existing methods for a large variety of initial networks, both in terms of speed and quality of solutions.

Energy transmission modes based on Tabu search and particle swarm hybrid optimization algorithm

In China, economic centers are far from energy storage bases, so it is significant to select a proper energy transferring mode to improve the efficiency of energy usage. To solve this problem, an optimal allocation model based on energy transfer mode was proposed after objective function for optimizing energy using efficiency was established, and then, a new Tabu search and particle swarm hybrid optimizing algorithm was proposed to find solutions. While actual data of energy demand and distribution in China were selected for analysis, the economic critical value in comparison between the long-distance coal transfer and electric power transmission was gained. Based on the above discussion, some proposals were put forward for optimal allocation of energy transfer modes in China. By comparing other three traditional methods that are based on regional price differences, freight rates and annual cost with the proposed method, the result indicates that the economic efficiency of the energy transfer can be enhanced by 3.14%, 5.78% and 6.01%, respectively.
