Study of the ant-colony-algorithm-based optimal scheduling of shipboard helicopter maintenance resource

Abstract

For the particularity of the maintenance of shipboard helicopter with finite resource, the optimized scheduling model of shipboard helicopter maintenance resource is put forward. By using the ant colony algorithm, the simulating calculation proves that the method uses the pheromone update to enhance search capability of ants to the optimal path, which solves the resource shortage problem well and reduces the maintenance cycle. © 2014 Springer-Verlag.
