Dominance move (DoM) is a binary quality indicator that can be used in multiobjective and many-objective optimization to compare two solution sets obtained from different simulations. The DoM differentiate the for certain important features, such as convergence , xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/...

time-dependent vehicle routing problem is one of the most applicable but least-studied variants of routing and scheduling problems. in this paper, a novel mathematical formulation of time-dependent vehicle routing problems with heterogeneous fleet, hard time widows and multiple depots, is proposed. to deal with the traffic congestions, we also considered that the vehicles are not forced to come...

nowadays, the environmental impact of transportation project and, especially air pollution impacts, are major concerns in evaluating transportation projects. based on this concern, beside definition of traditional objective functions like total travel time and total investment cost, different type of environmental related function is considered as objective function in urban network design. in...

We propose SonOpt, the first (open source) data sonification application for monitoring progress of bi-objective population-based optimization algorithms during search, to facilitate algorithm understanding. SonOpt provides insights into convergence/stagnation evolution approximation set shape, location recurring points in set, and population diversity. The benefits have been shown various non-...

As a class of hard combinatorial optimization problems, the school bus routing problem has received considerable attention in the last decades. For a multi-school system, given the bus trips for each school, the school bus scheduling problem aims at optimizing bus schedules to serve all the trips within the school time windows. In this paper, we propose two approaches for solving the bi-objecti...

Distributed energy resources (DERs) including distributed generators (DGs) and controllable loads (CLs) are managed in the form of several microgrids (MGs) in active distributions networks (ADNs) to meet the demand locally. On the other hand, some loads of distribution networks (DNs) can be supplied by retailers which participate in wholesale energy markets. Therefore, there are several decisio...
