This paper intends to conceptualise an optimisation solution for vehicle routing that can get the best routing result and release the most optimal route to the driver, namely WeRoute. The objectives of the paper are to manage the data efficiently, save time, reduce cost, enhance customer satisfaction, and decrease the emission of carbon. Moreover, this is also known as the vehicle routing problem, which deals with a range of variables, including drivers, stops, roads, and customers. The method, Genetic algorithm, was developed to improve the efficiency of generating feasible routes for a project. A team of drivers and several stops are needed to generate the solution of optimising the vehicle routing. It can be said that the more drivers or stops, the more complicated the problem becomes, such as cost controls and vehicle limitations. Thus, a route optimisation tool slowly becomes the key to ensuring the delivery business as efficiently as possible.

An online analytic service system was designed as a web and a mobile application for shrimp farmers and shrimp farm managers to manage the growth performance of shrimp. The MySQL database management system was used to manage the shrimp data. The Apache Web Server was used for contacting the shrimp database, and the web content displays were implemented with PHP script, JavaScript, and HTML5. Additionally, the program was linked with Google Charts to display data in various graphs, such as bar graphs and scatter diagrams, and Google Maps API was used to display water quality factors that are related to shrimp growth as spatial data. To test the system, field survey data from a shrimp farm in southern Thailand were used. Growth performance of shrimp and water quality data were collected from 13 earthen ponds in southern peninsular Thailand, located in the Surat Thani, Krabi, Phuket, and Satun provinces. The results show that the system allowed administrators to manage shrimp and farm data from the field sites. Both mobile and web applications were accessed by the users to manage the water quality factors and shrimp data. The system also provided the data analysis tool required to select a parameter from a list box and shows the association between water quality factors and shrimp data with a scatter diagram. Furthermore, the system generated a report of shrimp growth for the different farms with a line graph overlay on Google Maps™ in the data entry suite via mobile application. Online analytics for the growth performance of shrimp as provided by this system could be useful as decision support tools for effective shrimp farming.

The purpose of this paper is to present an in-flight initial alignment method for the guided projectiles, obtained after launching, and utilizing the characteristic of the inertial device of a strapdown inertial navigation system. This method uses an Elman neural network algorithm, optimized by genetic algorithm in the initial alignment calculation. The algorithm is discussed in details and applied to the initial alignment process of the proposed guided projectile. Simulation results show the advantages of the optimized Elman neural network algorithm for the initial alignment problem of the strapdown inertial navigation system. It can not only obtain the same high-precision alignment as the traditional Kalman filter but also improve the real-time performance of the system.

The objective of this paper is focuses on route optimization, for a given wireless sensor network. We detail the significance of route optimization problem and the corresponding mathematical model. After analyzing the complex multi-objective optimization problem, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm was introduced to search the best route. Inspired by Genetic Algorithm (GA), we embed two operations into ACO to refine it. First, every ant after achieving sink will be regarded as an individual such as that in GA. The crossover operation will be applied and then, the generated new ants will replace the weaker parents. Second, we designed a mutation operation for ants selecting next nodes to visit. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed combination algorithm has significant enhancements than both GA and ACO. The lifetime of WSN can be extended and the coverage speed can be accelerated.
