Optimal Transportation Scheduling of Prefabricated Components Based on Improved Hybrid Differential Firefly Algorithm

Abstract

The prefabricated construction industry has entered a new stage of development with the support of national policies. In order to solve the optimal scheduling problem of transportation vehicles in urban multi-prefabricated component factories, in this study, the aggregation optimization algorithm is introduced, and a new hybrid optimization algorithm is designed and improved, that is, the improved hybrid difference firefly algorithm (IHDFA). On the basis of fully considering the transportation cost and road traffic impedance, the prefabricated component factory constructs a linear programming model with the shortest transportation path and the lowest comprehensive cost as the main goal to reasonably plan the driving arrangement of transportation vehicles. Finally, the IHDFA algorithm is applied to a specific example and compared with the genetic algorithm, firefly algorithm, differential evolution algorithm, particle swarm algorithm, and hybrid differential firefly algorithm. The results show that the IHDFA proposed in this study effectively reduces the comprehensive transportation cost of prefabricated components, which verifies the practicability and effectiveness of the optimization model and algorithm.
