DIB - A Novel Optimized VANET Traffic Management Using a Deep Neural Network
The advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) establishes the development of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). An integral part of ITS is the vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) with smart vehicles (SV). In this research, a dynamic method of traffic regulation in VANET is presented using Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and Bat Algorithms (BA). With a reduced average delay, the former (DNN) is utilized to guide vehicles across very crowded routes to increase efficiency. In order to examine the traffic congestion status between network nodes, BA is integrated with the IoT and moved over VANETs. Experiments were conducted to test the effectiveness of the proposed method with various parameters such as average latency, packet delivery ratio (PDR) and throughput and the performance were compared with different machine learning (ML) algorithms. The simulation outputs proved that the proposed technique supports real-time traffic circumstances with less energy usage and delay than existing methods

HEDCOS: High Efficiency Dynamic Combinatorial Optimization System using Ant Colony Optimization algorithm
This thesis was submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University LondonDynamic combinatorial optimization is gaining popularity among industrial practitioners due to the ever-increasing scale of their optimization problems and efforts to solve them to remain competitive. Larger optimization problems are not only more computationally intense to optimize but also have more uncertainty within problem inputs. If some aspects of the problem are subject to dynamic change, it becomes a Dynamic Optimization Problem (DOP).
In this thesis, a High Efficiency Dynamic Combinatorial Optimization System is built to solve challenging DOPs with high-quality solutions. The system is created using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) baseline algorithm with three novel developments.
First, introduced an extension method for ACO algorithm called Dynamic Impact. Dynamic Impact is designed to improve convergence and solution quality by solving challenging optimization problems with a non-linear relationship between resource consumption and fitness. This proposed method is tested against the real-world Microchip Manufacturing Plant Production Floor Optimization (MMPPFO) problem and the theoretical benchmark Multidimensional Knapsack Problem (MKP).
Second, a non-stochastic dataset generation method was introduced to solve the dynamic optimization research replicability problem. This method uses a static benchmark dataset as a starting point and source of entropy to generate a sequence of dynamic states. Then using this method, 1405 Dynamic Multidimensional Knapsack Problem (DMKP) benchmark datasets were generated and published using famous static MKP benchmark instances as the initial state.
Third, introduced a nature-inspired discrete dynamic optimization strategy for ACO by modelling real-world ants’ symbiotic relationship with aphids. ACO with Aphids strategy is designed to solve discrete domain DOPs with event-triggered discrete dynamism. The strategy improved inter-state convergence by allowing better solution recovery after dynamic environment changes. Aphids mediate the information from previous dynamic optimization states to maximize initial results performance and minimize the impact on convergence speed. This strategy is tested for DMKP and against identical ACO implementations using Full-Restart and Pheromone-Sharing strategies, with all other variables isolated.
Overall, Dynamic Impact and ACO with Aphids developments are compounding. Using Dynamic Impact on single objective optimization of MMPPFO, the fitness value was improved by 33.2% over the ACO algorithm without Dynamic Impact. MKP benchmark instances of low complexity have been solved to a 100% success rate even when a high degree of solution sparseness is observed, and large complexity instances have shown the average gap improved by 4.26 times. ACO with Aphids has also demonstrated superior performance over the Pheromone-Sharing strategy in every test on average gap reduced by 29.2% for a total compounded dynamic optimization performance improvement of 6.02 times. Also, ACO with Aphids has outperformed the Full-Restart strategy for large datasets groups, and the overall average gap is reduced by 52.5% for a total compounded dynamic optimization performance improvement of 8.99 times
