Abstract

The use of transportation network (TN) has been rapidly increasing in order to communication, transportation, etc and provides low cost and less time to access to the desired location from distant location. The Reliability and cost of these TNs are important and are largely determined by network topology. Network topology consists of nodes (places) and the links (paths) between nodes. The selection of optimal network topology (ONT) is NP-hard combinatorial problem so that the classical enumeration based method grows exponentially with network size. In this paper, a heuristic search algorithm inspired by evolutionary method is presented to solve the all-terminal network design problem when considering cost and reliability. The PSO algorithm is considerably enhanced over conventional implementations to improve effectiveness and efficiency for reliability and cost to optimize.
