The invention discloses an improved
particle swarm optimization algorithm-based unequal-area facility
layout method with interference. The method belongs to the field of intelligent optimization algorithms, and comprises the following main steps: S1, constructing a
mathematical model with an interference unequal area facility
layout problem; s2, initializing a
population, and calculating an objective function value; s3, selecting a
global optimal particle by using a target space division method; s4, executing
heuristic mutation operation by using an adaptive
gradient method to improve the search precision; and S5, using a
tabu search rule and a neighborhood transformation rule to prevent the
algorithm from being caught in a local optimal solution trap too early. Compared with the existing method, the method has the following main advantages: (1) the influence caused by a physical interference object is considered in the unequal-area facility
layout problem, so that the applicability of the problem is enhanced, and the method can be more suitable for actual application scenes such as factory workshop transportation scenes; and (2) a
tabu search rule is introduced into the multi-target
particle swarm optimization algorithm, so that the convergence speed and the global search capability of the algorithm are improved.
