Abstract EN
The aim of this study is to deal with a minimum cost network flow problem (MCNFP) in a large-scale construction project using a nonlinear multiobjective bilevel model with birandom variables.
The main target of the upper level is to minimize both direct and transportation time costs.
The target of the lower level is to minimize transportation costs.
After an analysis of the birandom variables, an expectation multiobjective bilevel programming model with chance constraints is formulated to incorporate decision makers’ preferences.
To solve the identified special conditions, an equivalent crisp model is proposed with an additional multiobjective bilevel particle swarm optimization (MOBLPSO) developed to solve the model.
The Shuibuya Hydropower Project is used as a real-world example to verify the proposed approach.
Results and analysis are presented to highlight the performances of the MOBLPSO, which is very effective and efficient compared to a genetic algorithm and a simulated annealing algorithm.
