Design and validation of a hybrid interactive reference point method for multi-objective optimization

This paper offers a classification of the main representatives of interactive classical and evolutionary methods. After a crossfertilization of these two fields a new hybrid interactive reference point method is designed. The method combines the reference point idea with the relative speed of a (1+1) - EA and is implemented with a graphical user interface. Finally, it is validated on two well-known real-world test problems

Catalog of selected heavy duty transport energy management models

A catalog of energy management models for heavy duty transport systems powered by diesel engines is presented. The catalog results from a literature survey, supplemented by telephone interviews and mailed questionnaires to discover the major computer models currently used in the transportation industry in the following categories: heavy duty transport systems, which consist of highway (vehicle simulation), marine (ship simulation), rail (locomotive simulation), and pipeline (pumping station simulation); and heavy duty diesel engines, which involve models that match the intake/exhaust system to the engine, fuel efficiency, emissions, combustion chamber shape, fuel injection system, heat transfer, intake/exhaust system, operating performance, and waste heat utilization devices, i.e., turbocharger, bottoming cycle
