Heuristic methods for solving two discrete optimization problems

Cabezas García, José Xavier January 2018 (has links)
In this thesis we study two discrete optimization problems: Traffic Light Synchronization and Location with Customers Orderings. A widely used approach to solve the synchronization of traffic lights on transport networks is the maximization of the time during which cars start at one end of a street and can go to the other without stopping for a red light (bandwidth maximization). The mixed integer linear model found in the literature, named MAXBAND, can be solved by optimization solvers only for small instances. In this manuscript we review in detail all the constraints of the original linear model, including those that describe all the cyclic routes in the graph, and we generalize some bounds for integer variables which so far had been presented only for problems that do not consider cycles. Furthermore, we summarized the first systematic algorithm to solve a simpler version of the problem on a single street. We also propose a solution algorithm that uses Tabu Search and Variable Neighbourhood Search and we carry out a computational study. In addition we propose a linear formulation for the shortest path problem with traffic lights constraints (SPTL). On the other hand, the simple plant location problem with order (SPLPO) is a variant of the simple plant location problem (SPLP) where the customers have preferences on the facilities which will serve them. In particular, customers define their preferences by ranking each of the potential facilities. Even though the SPLP has been widely studied in the literature, the SPLPO has been studied much less and the size of the instances that can be solved is very limited. In this manuscript, we propose a heuristic that uses a Lagrangean relaxation output as a starting point of a semi-Lagrangean relaxation algorithm to find good feasible solutions (often the optimal solution). We also carry out a computational study to illustrate the good performance of our method. Last, we introduce the partial and stochastic versions of SPLPO and apply the Lagrangean algorithm proposed for the deterministic case to then show examples and results.

Ordonnancement cyclique multi-produits des lignes de traitement de surface : Méthodes exactes et approchées / Exact and heuristic appoaches for solving multi-parts cyclic hoist schelduling problems

El Amraoui, Adnen 12 July 2011 (has links)
Cette thèse s’intéresse au fonctionnement cyclique multi-produits des ateliers de traitement de surface, et au problème d’ordonnancement associé (HSP), caractérisé par des contraintes fortes et atypiques, dont certaines sont liées aux ressources de transport. Dans le cas de productions en grandes séries, une commande cyclique de ces systèmes est particulièrement adaptée, permettant notamment de réduire la combinatoire de résolution, et sous réserve que les ratios de produits soient connus à l’avance. Notre objectif est de trouver le meilleur ordonnancement des tâches de traitement et de transport en un temps raisonnable. Pour cela, nous proposons une première approche, basée sur un modèle linéaire et une méthode de résolution arborescente de type séparation et évaluation. Nous présentons des modélisations pour différentes extensions du problème dit de base et nous fournissons des exemples illustratifs et des résultats sur des benchmarks. Par la suite et compte tenu de l’analyse de la littérature relative aux ordonnancements cycliques mono-produit et multi-produits, nous proposons tout d’abord une heuristique dédiée au cas multi-produits étudié, et basée sur un algorithme de liste. Avec ce dernier, nous obtenons un ordonnancement cyclique dont le degré du cycle n’est pas fixé au préalable. Enfin, nous présentons une deuxième modélisation approchée sous la forme d’un algorithme génétique pour résoudre un HSP 2-cyclique. Ces différents modèles sont validés par des tests sur des benchmarks de la littérature pour lesquels nous avons obtenus des résultats prometteurs. Nous terminons par une analyse critique des avantages et inconvénients des modèles élaborés et par quelques propositions de perspectives pour ce travail. / In this thesis, we study the Cyclic Hoist Scheduling Problem (CHSP) in automated electroplating lines, when a mass production must be achieved. The CHSP is characterized by specific constraints related to processing and transport resources. To solve it in a multi-parts context, we first elaborate a 2-degree cyclic model and an associated branch and bound algorithm. Then we extend it to more complex configurations. Then, we develop a dedicated heuristic to find a feasible repetitive sequence of hoist moves that minimizes the cycle time, without a priori fixing the cycle degree. Comparisons with existing algorithms are presented to show the efficiency of the proposed heuristic. To reduce the cycle time, we integrate in the general heuristic an algorithm with a set of Minimum Part Set (MPS) configurations’. This one allows us to find the best order in which jobs should be introduced into the line. Finally, we describe a genetic algorithm approach to find a schedule which can reach the optimal 2-cycle. We finally discuss the interest of those various models, based on the promising results obtained and we provide some perspectives which could be explored.
