RESEARCH OF GENETIC ALGORITHMS FOR SEARCHING OPTIMAL WAYS IN THE SYSTEM OF CONDUCTING METROMARATHONS
The work is devoted to the study of genetic algorithms on the example of the search for the best ways to support“Transit challenge” or “Subway Challenge” system. Based on the rules of “Transit challenge” and the tasks of thesalesman, the problem of stations was formulated - the search for the best way to visit all subway stations in the shortestpossible time. Based on the graph theory, a mathematical model of the metrophone system was developed. To solve thestation problem, a genetic algorithm has been developed: the method of genome representation, population mutationand genome crossing rules have been chosen. On the basis of the experimental study of the genetic algorithm the mosteffective parameters were selected and recommendations on the solution of the station problem for “Transit challenge”of different dimensions were developed.
