The shunting schedule of electric multiple units depot (SSED) is one of the essential plans for high-speed train maintenance activities. This paper presents a 0-1 programming model to address the problem of determining an optimal SSED through automatic computing. The objective of the model is to minimize the number of shunting movements and the constraints include track occupation conflicts, shunting routes conflicts, time durations of maintenance processes, and shunting running time. An enhanced particle swarm optimization (EPSO) algorithm is proposed to solve the optimization problem. Finally, an empirical study from Shanghai South EMU Depot is carried out to illustrate the model and EPSO algorithm. The optimization results indicate that the proposed method is valid for the SSED problem and that the EPSO algorithm outperforms the traditional PSO algorithm on the aspect of optimality.

Modality and intermittent search strategy in combination with an Improve Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (IPSO) to detect damage structure via using vibration analysis basic principle of a decline stiffness matrix a structure is presented in the study as a new technique. Unlike an optimization problem using a simplistic algorithm application, the combination leads to promising results. Interestingly, the PSO algorithm solves the optimal problem around the location determined previously. In contrast, Eagle Strategy (ES) is the charging of locating the position in intermittent space for the PSO algorithm to search locally. ES is easy to deal with its problem via drastic support of Levy flight. As known, the PSO algorithm has a fast search speed, yet the accuracy of the PSO algorithm is not as good as expected in many problems. Meanwhile, the combination is powerful to solve two problems: 1) avoiding local optimization, and 2) obtaining more accurate results. The paper compares the results obtained from the PSO algorithm with the combination of IPSO and ES for some problems and between experiment and FEM to demonstrate its effectiveness. Natural frequencies are used in the objective function to solve this optimization problem. The results show that the combination of IPSO and ES is quite effective.

When the parameters were measured by using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in practice, there were some parameters hard to measure, which would influenced the reflective spectral of FBG severely, and make the characteristic information harder to be extracted. Therefore, particle swarm optimization algorithm was proposed in analyzing the uniform force reflective spectral of FBG. Based on the uniform force sense theory of FBG and particle swarm optimization algorithm, the objective function were established, meanwhile the experiment and simulation were constructed. And the characteristic information in reflective spectrum of FBG was extracted. By using particle swarm optimization algorithm, experimental data showed that particle swarm optimization algorithm used in extracting the characteristic information not only was efficaciously and easily, but also had some advantages, such as high accuracy, stability and fast convergence rate. And it was useful in high precision measurement of FBG sensor.

Mutation operator is one of the mechanisms of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) and it can provide diversity in the search and help to explore the undiscovered search place. Quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO), which is inspired by fundamental theory of PSO algorithm and quantum mechanics, is a novel stochastic searching technique and it may encounter local minima problem when solving multi-modal problems just as that in PSO. A novel mutation mechanism is proposed in this paper to enhance the global search ability of QPSO and a set of different mutation operators is introduced and implemented on the QPSO. Experiments are conducted on several well-known benchmark functions. Experimental results show that QPSO with some of the mutation operators is proven to be statistically significant better than the original QPSO.

Population Based Algorithm

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is the most important and popular algorithm to solving the engineering optimization problem due to its simple updating formulas and excellent searching capacity. This algorithm is one of evolutionary computations and is also a population-based algorithm. Traditionally, to demonstrate the convergence analysis of the PSO algorithm or its related variations, simulation results in a numerical presentation are often given. This way may be unclear or unsuitable for some particular cases. Hence, this paper will adopt the illustration styles instead of numeric simulation results to more clearly clarify the convergence behavior of the algorithm. In addition, it is well known that three parameters used in the algorithm, i.e., the inertia weight w, position constants c1 and c2, sufficiently dominate the whole searching performance. The influence of these parameter settings on the algorithm convergence will be considered and examined via a simple two-dimensional function optimization problem. All simulation results are displayed using a series of illustrations with respect to various iteration numbers. Finally, some simple rules on how to suitably assign these parameters are also suggested

In this study, the output characteristics of partial modules in a photovoltaic module array when subject to shading were first explored. Then, an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was applied to track the global maximum power point (MPP), with a multi-peak characteristic curve. The improved particle swarm optimization algorithm proposed, combined with the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, was used to adjust the weighting, cognition learning factor, and social learning factor, and change the number of iterations to enhance the tracking performance of the MPP tracker. Finally, MATLAB software was used to carry out a simulation and prove the improved that the PSO algorithm successfully tracked the MPP in the photovoltaic array output curve with multiple peaks. Its tracking performance is far superior to the existing PSO algorithm.
