Genetic algorithms for assigning tasks to construction machine operators

摘要

The authors describe the methodology for using genetic algorithms in solving problems of optimum assignment of tasks to construction machinery operators, aimed at achieving maximum efficiency. A special emphasis is placed on the influence of human factor (operator competence) on the efficiency of the system. The methodology for creating a genetic algorithm is described, and its use in practical problem solving is presented. The achieved results, and their sensitivity to the number of variables, is discussed.
