Fuzzy clustering methods are conveniently employed in constructing a fuzzy model of a system, but they need to tune some parameters. In this research, FCM is chosen for fuzzy clustering. Parameters such as the number of clusters and the value of fuzzifier significantly influence the extent of generalization of the fuzzy model. These two parameters require tuning to reduce the overfitting in the...

Safety risk management has a considerable effect on disproportionate injury rate of construction industry, project cost and both labor and public morale. On the other hand time-cost optimization (TCO) may earn a big profit for project stakeholders. This paper has addressed these issues to present a multi-objective optimization model to simultaneously optimize total time, total cost and overall ...

In this paper, power distribution planning (PDP) considering distributed generators (DGs) is investigated as a dynamic multi-objective optimization problem. Moreover, Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is applied to handle the uncertainty in electricity price and load demand. In the proposed model, investment and operation costs, losses and purchased power from the main grid are incorporated in the f...

a new multi-stage fuzzy (msf) controller based on multi-objective harmony search algorithm (mohsa) is proposed in this paper to solve the load frequency control (lfc) problem of power systems in deregulated environment. lfc problem are caused by load perturbations, which continuously disturb the normal operation of power system. the objectives of lfc are to mini small size the transient deviati...

in this paper, to analyze the transport of autonomous robots, an artificial capital market is used. capital market is considered as a pier which loading and unloading of cargo is done. autonomous robots load and unload from the ship to the warehouse wharf or vice versa. all the robots have the ability of transporting the loads, but depending on loads and the location of unloading (or loading) a...

In this paper, a multi-objective reconfiguration problem has been solved simultaneously by a modified ant colony optimization algorithm. Two objective functions, real power loss and energy not supplied index (ENS), were utilized. Multi-objective modified ant colony optimization algorithm has been generated by adding non-dominated sorting technique and changing the pheromone updating rule of ori...

in this paper, a stochastic multi-depot multi-objective vehicle routing problem (vrp) is studied. based on observations in real-world problems, we develop an aspect of the problem, such as stochastic availability of routes. to solve the problem in this situation, a two-objective mathematical model is developed, in which the related objective functions are: (1) minimizing transportation costs an...
