Coordination of Parameters of Transportation System Elements

Abstract

Rationalization of transportation objects is one of the main challenges in the sphere of operations control. The analysis of the currently used optimization techniques showed that they don’t always provide economically efficient decisions, e.g., the simulation descent can’t guarantee a converge to a global optimum. In order to increase the precision of solutions aimed at improving the design and technological processes of transportation systems a comprehensive study of optimization via simulation literature was carried out. The survey showed that hybrid optimization techniques provide good results and prove to be less time and labor consuming compared to other optimization via simulation methods. As a result, the paper shows an application of hybrid optimization technique in simulation framework on example of chemical and metallurgical enterprise.
