With the increasing complexity of urban transportation system, serious traffic congestion brings inconvenience to travel. It is also very difficult to predict and control traffic congestion. Therefore, this paper takes urban traffic condition and traffic congestion as the research object, and conducts in-depth research on traffic condition prediction model and traffic congestion control method. Firstly, a traffic state prediction method based on improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) optimized radial basis function (RBF) and long and short term memory network (LSTM)/ support vector machine (SVM) feature fusion model was proposed for urban traffic state prediction. Experiments were carried out based on the regional traffic data of Shenyang Station, and compared with other algorithms, which verified the superiority of the feature fusion model based on IPSO-RBF and LSTM/SVM in this paper. Secondly, aiming at the problem of urban traffic congestion, a congestion section control method based on traffic allocation is proposed. Through VISSIM simulation and comparison with other traffic control schemes, the superiority of the congestion section optimization method proposed in this paper is verified.

In order to address the impact of the uncertainty and intermittency of a photovoltaic power generation system on the smooth operation of the power system, a microgrid scheduling model incorporating photovoltaic power generation forecast is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the factors affecting the accuracy of photovoltaic power generation prediction are analyzed by classifying the photovoltaic power generation data using cluster analysis, analyzing its important features using Pearson correlation coefficients, and downscaling the high-dimensional data using PCA. And based on the theories of the sparrow search algorithm, convolutional neural network, and bidirectional long- and short-term memory network, a combined SSA-CNN-BiLSTM prediction model is established, and the attention mechanism is used to improve the prediction accuracy. Secondly, a multi-temporal dispatch optimization model of the microgrid power system, which aims at the economic optimization of the system operation cost and the minimization of the environmental cost, is constructed based on the prediction results. Further, differential evolution is introduced into the QPSO algorithm and the model is solved using this improved quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm. Finally, the feasibility of the photovoltaic power generation forecasting model and the microgrid power system dispatch optimization model, as well as the validity of the solution algorithms, are verified through real case simulation experiments. The results show that the model in this paper has high prediction accuracy. In terms of scheduling strategy, the generation method with the lowest cost is selected to obtain an effective way to interact with the main grid and realize the stable and economically optimized scheduling of the microgrid system.

To solve the problem that the single robot task execution capability is not enough to meet the whole handling task demand under complex conditions, the hybrid path planning models such as multi-robot path planning and formation cooperative control considering obstacle avoidance are studied. Firstly, for the robot global path finding problem, on the basis of the construction for a robot working environment model based on the geometric map model building method, an improved particle swarm algorithm-based global path planning model is proposed to solve the problems of low robot path planning solution efficiency and easy to fall into local optimal solutions. Secondly, for the multi-robot cooperative formation control and obstacle avoidance and inter-robot collision avoidance problems, a multi-robot formation local path planning model based on the improved artificial potential field method is constructed, a simulated annealing algorithm is introduced to optimize the traditional artificial potential field method, and a multi-robot formation control strategy, robot obstacle avoidance, and inter-robot collision avoidance methods are designed in combination with the pilot-following method to improve the robot formation path exploration The proposed method can improve the path exploration capability and handling efficiency of robot formation. Finally, the global path planning model of the robot based on the improved particle swarm algorithm is simulated and analyzed using Matlab 7.0 to verify the outstanding performance of the model in pathfinding capability. Then the local path planning model of multi-robot formation based on the improved artificial potential field is simulated and analyzed to verify the improved algorithm has good path planning as well as obstacle avoidance performance. The hybrid path planning model is applied to a real case and simulated, and the results show that the improved algorithm improves the exploration capability of the robot formation, effectively avoids obstacles, and verifies its reliability and superiority in the hybrid path planning process.

In a flexible manufacturing shop, the cooperation of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and machines is more in accordance with the real production situation. A scheduling problem of flexible manufacturing shop floor considering the transportation time is studied. The dual resource integrated scheduling issue with multiple AGVs and multiple machines is modeled by mixed-integer programming (MIP). An improved Hybrid Discrete Salp Swam Algorithm (HDSSA) is proposed to optimize the maximum makespan. A three-layer coding scheme based on workpiece, machine and AGV is adopted to realize the SSA adapted to the discrete combinatorial problem. The purpose of a designed heuristic initialization approach in decoding is to raise the quality of the algorithm’s initial solution. The idea of differential variation is implemented into the HDSSA to increase its global search capability through variation and crossover operators. To enhance the HDSSA’s local search ability, a variable neighborhood search depending on problem feature is introduced to the optimal individual of each iteration. To prove the effectiveness of the algorithm improvement strategy and the proposed HDSSA, comparative experiments are conducted with other algorithms through standard instances. The results of the experiments suggest the proposed approach is capable of successfully resolving the integrated scheduling problem considering transportation time.

From the perspective of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, the scheduling problem in a flexible workshop with the utilization of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) was investigated for material transportation. Addressing the dual-constrained integrated scheduling challenge involving machining machines and AGVs, a scheduling optimization model was established with makespan, workshop energy consumption, and processing quality as the optimization objectives. To effectively solve this model, an enhanced whale optimization algorithm (IWOA) was proposed. Specifically, nonlinear convergence factors, adaptive inertia weights, and improved helix positions were introduced into the standard whale optimization algorithm to update the model. Furthermore, a loss function was constructed based on fuzzy membership theory to obtain the optimal compromise solution of the multi-objective model. The research results indicate that: (1) The IWOA obtained the optimal solutions on benchmark instances MK01, MK02, MK04, MK07, and MK08; (2) The IWOA outperformed the WOA(1), WOA(2), WOA-LEDE, and NSGA-II algorithms in the two instances provided in this paper, demonstrating strong robustness of the model; (3) Although the multi-objective model constructed in this paper could not surpass the single-objective optimal solution in individual objectives, it achieved compensation in other objectives, effectively balancing the trade-offs among the makespan, workshop energy consumption, and processing quality of the three objectives. This research offers an effective practical approach to address green flexible workshop scheduling with AGV transportation.
