A Hybrid Tabu Search-Based Artificial Immune Algorithm for Construction Site Layout Optimization
Abstract
Layout of temporary facilities on a construction site is essential to enhance productivity and safety. It is a complex issue due to the unique nature of construction. This problem is validated as an NP-hard and one of the challenging problems in the field of construction management. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid algorithm, named topt-aiNet, to solve the construction site layout problem by combining the aiNet algorithm with Tabu search. Experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm outperformed the stateof-the-art ones.References
