Many trajectory-based applications require an essential step of mapping raw GPS trajectories onto the digital road network accurately. This task, commonly referred to as map matching, is challenging due to the measurement error of GPS devices in critical environment and the sampling error caused by long sampling intervals. Traditional algorithms focus on either a local or a global perspective to deal with the problem. To further improve the performance, this paper develops a novel map matching model that considers local geometric/topological information and a global similarity measure simultaneously. To accomplish the optimization goal in this complex model, we adopt an ant colony optimization algorithm that mimics the path finding process of ants transporting food in nature. The algorithm utilizes both local heuristic and global fitness to search the global optimum of the model. Experimental results verify that the proposed algorithm is able to provide accurate map matching results within a relatively short execution time.

Summary: High-dimensional optimization problems are becoming increasingly difficult due to interacting variables. This paper presents a random elite ensemble learning swarm optimizer (REELSO) inspired by human observational learning theory to effectively tackle such problems. REELSO partitions the swarm into elite and non-elite groups, allowing non-elite particles to observe and learn from elite particles, promoting convergence and maintaining swarm diversity. Experimental results demonstrate that REELSO performs competitively or even outperforms state-of-the-art approaches for high-dimensional optimization.

Heterogeneous cognitive learning particle swarm optimization for large-scale optimization problems

En Zhang, Zihao Nie, Qiang Yang, Yiqiao Wang, Dong Liu, Sang-Woon Jeon, Jun Zhang

Summary: Facing complex large-scale optimization problems, most existing optimization algorithms lose their effectiveness. In order to effectively solve this type of problem, we propose a heterogeneous cognitive learning particle swarm optimization algorithm (HCLPSO). Unlike most particle swarm optimization algorithms, HCLPSO partitions particles into superior and inferior categories based on their fitness and treats them differently. With the collaboration of two learning mechanisms, HCLPSO can effectively explore the search space and exploit the found optimal zones to find optimal solutions.
