Changtao Wang, Liangliang Sun, Xiaotong Sun, Tiancheng Yuan · 2016
The optimization of pipe path planning plays an important role in a building system. The three-dimensional building environment model is established, because of complicated building pipeline systems. Also this paper proposed a new method of pipe routing layout-design a quick method of generating orthogonal path. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is then used for optimizing the pipe path with a fixed-length code for the path, and for it's vulnerable to local problems, a mutation operator is adding to increase the diversity of the population. Finally, simulation results are presented and prove the feasibility and effectiveness of this method.
