Ship pipeline collaborative layout optimization based on EPA-star algorithm by Zhiyao YANG, Hongshuo ZHANG, Yan LIN

“…ObjectivesAiming to overcome the efficiency and engineering practicality issues of existing pipeline layout design methods, this study explores a high-efficiency EPA-star (escape pruning A-star algorithm) for pipeline layout optimization.MethodThe layout space is discretized based on the escape graph method, the resulting connection points are stored as the adjacency table, the estimated traversal cost and penalty function are introduced to reduce the bending and folding phenomenon in the path, and the path is pruned to improve the quality of paths in the case of large spans. …”
