This study shows that using a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize fuel replenishment strategies for a fleet of continuously patrolling vehicles leads to significant improvements. By considering dispatch and gather strategies, refuel thresholds, and emergency thresholds, the GA effectively reduces operational costs and minimizes vehicle downtime.

Military Logistics Planning: Genetic Algorithm Approach

Project Overview

This project develops an optimized fuel replenishment strategy for a fleet of continuously patrolling vehicles using genetic algorithms. The goal is to minimize operational costs and vehicle downtime over a 15-day period.

Key Features

  • Genetic algorithm optimization for refueling strategies
  • Dynamic dispatch and gather strategies
  • Adaptive refuel and emergency thresholds
  • Cost comparison between optimized and baseline strategies
  • K-means clustering for spatial analysis

Methodology

  1. Population initialization
  2. Fitness evaluation
  3. Parent selection
  4. Crossover and mutation
  5. Elitism
  6. Solution optimization

Results

  • Significant cost reduction compared to baseline strategy
  • Improved operational efficiency
  • Enhanced vehicle management and resource allocation

Future Scope

  • Real-time data processing integration
  • Environmental factor consideration
  • Multi-modal transportation expansion
  • API development for broader application

Dependencies

  • Python 3.x
  • NumPy
  • Pandas
  • Matplotlib
  • Scikit-learn
