Abstract This paper studies the Electronic Device Testing Machine Allocation Problem (EDTMAP), aiming to improve the production of electronic devices and reduce the scheduling distance of testing machines through reasonable machine allocation. Firstly, a mathematical model is formulated for the EDTMAP to maximize both production and the opposite of the scheduling distance of testing machines. Secondly, we develop a Discrete Multi Objective Artificial Bee Colony (DMOABC) algorithm to solve the EDTMAP. A crossover operator and a local search operator are designed to improve the exploration and exploitation of the algorithm, respectively. Some numerical experiments are designed to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm compared with NSGA --Ⅱ and SPEA2. Finally, the mathematical model and the DMOABC algorithm areapplied to a real world factory that tests radio frequency modules. The result also verifies our method can significantly improve production and reduce the scheduling distance of testing machines.

Maximizing regenerative energy utilization in subway systems has become a hot research topic in recent years. By coordinating traction and braking trains in a substation, regenerative energy is optimally utilized and thus energy consumption from the substation can be reduced. This article proposes a timetable optimization problem to maximize regenerative energy utilization in a subway system with headway and dwell time control. We formulate its mathematical model, and some required constraints are considered in the model. To keep the operation time duration constant, the headway time between different trains can be different. An improved artificial bee colony algorithm is designed to solve the problem. Its main procedure and some related tasks are presented. Numerical experiments based on the data from a subway line in China are conducted, and improved artificial bee colony is compared with a genetic algorithm. Experimental results prove the correctness of the mathematical model and the effectiveness of improved artificial bee colony, which improves regenerative energy utilization for the experimental line and performs better than genetic algorithm.

A modified version of the artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC) was suggested namely Adaptive Dimension Limit- Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ADL-ABC). To determine the optimum global path for mobile robot that satisfies the chosen criteria for shortest distance and collision–free with circular shaped static obstacles on robot environment. The cubic polynomial connects the start point to the end point through three via points used, so the generated paths are smooth and achievable by the robot. Two case studies (or scenarios) are presented in this task and comparative research (or study) is adopted between two algorithm’s results in order to evaluate the performance of the suggested algorithm. The results of the simulation showed that modified parameter (dynamic control limit) is avoiding static number of limit which excludes unnecessary Iteration, so it can find solution with minimum number of iterations and less computational time. From tables of result if there is an equal distance along the path such as in case A (14.490, 14.459) unit, there will be a reduction in time approximately to halve at percentage 5%.
