: As the construction industry becomes more sustainable in the future, such as green, ecology, and safety, the higher the requirements for the ultimate objectives of the project.The traditional management objectives of investment, duration, and quality can no longer meet the requirements of comprehensive optimization management. Therefore, from the perspective of the project owners, the work introduced the safety and environmental objectives based on traditional management objectives. The thesis analyzes the relationship between the objectives, and builds the equilibrium optimization model. Moreover, this thesis uses multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) to solve the problem, and obtains a series of Pareto optimal solutions. Then, according to the specific requirements of project management and the use of the efficacy coefficient method, the best solution is selected from the Pareto optimal solutions. Finally, a Sichuan wind power project is taken as an example. The work used the MOPSO to run 1,000 trails, and calculate the mean and standard deviation. It verified the rationality of model and the practicability of MOPSO.

Traditional reservoir operation ignores ecological demands of rivers. This would probably lead to degradation of river ecosystem. In order to alleviate the influence of reservoirs on river ecosystem, multi-objective reservoir ecological operation was proposed from perspective of maintaining the river ecosystem health. Multi-objective mathematical model of multi-reservoir ecological operation was established. A multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm was introduced to generate a set of Pareto-optimal solutions. In addition, to facilitate easy implementation for the reservoir operator, a simple but effective decision-making method was presented to choose the desired alternative from a set of Pareto-optimal solutions. Finally, the proposed approach was applied to the ecological operation of the reservoirs at the main stream of Xiuhe river in Poyang Lake basin in China. The results show that the proposed approach is able to offer many alternative policies for the water resources managers, and it is a viable alternative to solve multi-objective water resources and hydrology problems.

The bike-sharing system (BSS), as a sustainable way to deal with the “last mile” problem of mass transit systems, is increasingly popular in recent years. Despite its success, the BSS tends to suffer from the mismatch of bike supply and user demand. BSS operators have to transfer bikes from surplus stations to deficit stations to redistribute them among stations by means of trucks. In this paper, we deal with the bike-sharing rebalancing problem with balance intervals (BRP-BIs), which is a variant of the static bike-sharing rebalancing problem. In this problem, the equilibrium of station is characterized by a balance interval instead of a balance point in the literature. We formulate the BRP-BI as a biobjective mixed-integer programming model with the aim of determining both the minimum cost route for a single capacitated vehicle and the maximum average rebalance utility, an index for the balanced degree of station. Then, a multistart multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MS-MOPSO) algorithm is proposed to solve the model such that the Pareto optimal solutions can be derived. The proposed algorithm is extended with crossover operator and variable neighbourhood search to enhance its exploratory capability. Compared with Hybrid NSGA-II and MOPSO, the computational experimental results demonstrate that our MS-MOPSO can obtain Pareto optimal solutions with higher quality.

Optimal allocation of water resources for various stakeholders often involves considerable complexity with several conflicting goals, which often leads to multi-objective optimization. In aid of effective decision-making to the water managers, apart from developing effective multi-objective mathematical models, there is a greater necessity of providing efficient Pareto optimal solutions to the real world problems. This study proposes a swarm-intelligence-based multi-objective technique, namely the elitist-mutated multi-objective particle swarm optimization technique (EM-MOPSO), for arriving at efficient Pareto optimal solutions to the multi-objective water resource management problems. The EM-MOPSO technique is applied to a case study of the multi-objective reservoir operation problem. The model performance is evaluated by comparing with results of a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) model, and it is found that the EM-MOPSO method results in better performance. The developed method can be used as an effective aid for multi-objective decision-making in integrated water resource management.

An improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed for solving bilevel multiobjective programming problem (BLMPP). For such problems, the proposed algorithm directly simulates the decision process of bilevel programming, which is different from most traditional algorithms designed for specific versions or based on specific assumptions. The BLMPP is transformed to solve multiobjective optimization problems in the upper level and the lower level interactively by an improved PSO. And a set of approximate Pareto optimal solutions for BLMPP is obtained using the elite strategy. This interactive procedure is repeated until the accurate Pareto optimal solutions of the original problem are found. Finally, some numerical examples are given to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.

In MOPSO (multiobjective particle swarm optimization), to maintain or increase the diversity of the swarm and help an algorithm to jump out of the local optimal solution, PAM (Partitioning Around Medoid) clustering algorithm and uniform design are respectively introduced to maintain the diversity of Pareto optimal solutions and the uniformity of the selected Pareto optimal solutions. In this paper, a novel algorithm, the multiobjective particle swarm optimization based on PAM and uniform design, is proposed. The differences between the proposed algorithm and the others lie in that PAM and uniform design are firstly introduced to MOPSO. The experimental results performing on several test problems illustrate that the proposed algorithm is efficient.

Distributed architecture-based Particle Swarm Optimization is very useful for static optimization and not yet explored to solve complex dynamic multi-objective optimization problems. This study proposes a novel Dynamic Pareto bi-level Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (DPb-MOPSO) algorithm with two optimization levels. In the first level, all solutions are optimized in the same search space and the second level is based on a distributed architecture using the Pareto ranking operator for dynamic multi-swarm subdivision. The proposed approach adopts a dynamic handling strategy using a set of detectors to keep track of change in the objective function that is impacted by the problem’s time-varying parameters at each level. To ensure timely adaptation during the optimization process, a dynamic response strategy is considered for the reevaluation of all non-improved solutions, while the worst particles are replaced with a newly generated one. The convergence and<br>diversity performance of the DPb-MOPSO algorithm are proven through Friedman Analysis of Variance, and the Lyapunov theorem is used to prove stability analysis over the Inverted Generational Distance (IGD) and Hypervolume Difference (HVD) metrics. Compared to other evolutionary algorithms, the novel DPb-MOPSO is shown to be most robust for solving complex problems over a range of changes in both the Pareto Optimal Set and Pareto Optimal Front. <br>

In the presented article, a novel multi-objective PSO algorithm, RP-MOPSO has been proposed. The algorithm adopts a new comparison scheme for position upgrading. The scheme is simple but effective in improve algorithms convergence speed. A sigma-density strategy of selecting the global best particle for each particle in swarm based on a new solutions density definition is designed. Experimental results on seven functions show that proposed algorithm show better convergence performance than other classical MOP algorithms. Meanwhile the proposed algorithm is more effective in maintaining the diversity of the solutions.
