An improved adaptive propagation chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm based on immune selection

The particle swarm optimization algorithm is improved by introducing the immune selection, adaptive propagation, multi-population evolution. An improved adaptive propagation chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm based on immune selection (IS-APCPSO algorithm for short) is proposed in this paper. The performance of several algorithms has been compared by a classic example of traffic network optimization. It is proved that the improved algorithm in accelerating convergence rate, increasing the diversity of particles, and preventing premature phenomenon is effective. The novel algorithm is expected to be used in the model solution of large-scale complex traffic network optimization problem.
