Designing Optimal Aviation Baggage Screening Strategies Using The Monkey Search Algorithm, Edgar Ivan Jimenez
Designing Optimal Aviation Baggage Screening Strategies Using The Monkey Search Algorithm, Edgar Ivan Jimenez
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
This thesis addresses the aviation baggage screening design problem considering several baggage screening devices which may be used for system implementation, the devices have different false clear and false alarm rates, throughput and purchase costs. In the present research, a comprehensive cost function which not only includes the cost associated with purchase and operation of baggage security devices, but also includes the indirect costs associated with device errors is used. A new monkey search based evolutionary algorithm is presented to determine the best selection of baggage screening security devices in order to minimize the expected annual total cost. The final …

Optimization Of A Strapdown Inertial Navigation System, Mario Ruiz
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The focus of this Thesis is to find 21 error parameters in a Strapdown Inertial Navigation System (SINS) that would minimize objective functions or error functions to increase accuracy utilizing an optimization algorithm. The algorithm used is goal attainment by Gembiki which is a multi-objective optimization algorithm proven to outperform other optimization methods in terms of efficiency and accuracy over large numbers of problems. Simulations of a noise-free SINS mounted on an aircraft were done in a stationary and on the move scenario to simulate two conditions in which alignment could become necessary. The error parameters to find were sensor …
