In this model, with the interests of bus companies and passengers in mind, the upper-level model＇s objective is to minimize the total cost, which is affected by frequency settings, both in time and economy in the transit system. The lower-level model is a transit assignment model used to describe the assignment of passengers＇ trips to the network based on the optimal bus headway. In order to solve the proposed model, a hybrid genetic algorithm, namely the genetic algorithm and the simulated annealing algorithm （GA-SA）, is designed. Finally, the model and the algorithm are tested against the transit data, by taking some of the bus lines of Changzhou city as an example. Results indicate that the proposed model allows supply and demand to be linked, which is reasonable, and the solving algorithm is effective.展开更多

However, there exist still numerous degrees of freedom in terms of optimization algorithm approaches that can be exploited in order to enhance yield of processes which are based on biological reactions. Here, we propose an evolutionary approach aiming to suggest different mutant for augmenting ethanol yield using glycerol as substrate in Escherichia coli. We found that this algorithm, even though is far from providing the global optimum, is able to uncover genes that a global optimizer would be incapable of. By over-expressing accB, eno, dapE, and accA mutants in ethanol production was augmented up to 2 fold compared to its counterpart E. coli BW25113.展开更多
