Development of Teaching System of Genetic Algorithm Applications in Fleet Scheduling

Genetic Algorithm (GA), as one of the classic meta-heuristic algorithms, is widely used in engineering problems and has high practical significance and teaching value. However, because it breaks through the thinking of traditional algorithms, it has been the difficulty and focus of algorithms teaching. In this paper, a teaching system of genetic algorithm applications in fleet scheduling is developed. Taking the flight scheduling problem as an example, the operation process and results of the genetic algorithm are displayed interactively to guide students to take the initiative to study the genetic algorithm deeply and exercise the ability to solve practical problems.
