A Multiagent Dynamic Assessment Approach for Water Quality Based on Improved Q-Learning Algorithm

Abstract EN

The dynamic water quality assessment is a challenging and critical issue in water resource management systems.

To deal with this complex problem, a dynamic water assessment model based on multiagent technology is proposed, and an improved Q-learning algorithm is used in this paper.

In the proposed Q-learning algorithm, a fuzzy membership function and a punishment mechanism are introduced to improve the learning speed of Q-learning algorithm.

The dynamic water quality assessment for different regions and the prewarning of water pollution are achieved by using an interaction factor in the proposed approach.

The proposed approach can deal with various situations, such as static and dynamic water quality assessment.

The experimental results show that the water quality assessment based on the proposed approach is more accurate and efficient than the general methods.
