Optimizing Metro Station Locations and Line Layouts in Selangor using Genetic Algorithm Approach: Technical Report

Abstract

This report presents an approach for optimizing metro station locations and line layouts in the area of Selangor, located in Malaysia. The project utilized the genetic algorithm in identifying the locations and lines layout. With population in Selangor projected to reach 7.3 million by 2024, the existing transport infrastructure is under increasing strain. This project addresses this challenge by optimizing the metro network to effectively cover the expanding population and minimize travel times. We employed a genetic algorithm to achieve these objectives, focusing on both the strategic placement of metro stations and the efficient layout of metro lines.
