This paper examines the feasibility of adopting LED lamp in replacing the conventional fluorescent lamp. Analysis and comparison have been carried out on the two lighting systems in terms of electrical and photometrical performance. A case study on UTeM's building has also been presented, which focuses on the economic evaluation. In addition, various lighting energy saving strategies have been proposed...
This work presents an approach based on the ant colony optimization technique to address the assembly line balancing problem. An improved ant colony optimization with look forward ant is proposed to solve the simple assembly line balancing problem of type 1 (SALBP-1). The proposed algorithm introduces an approach to dynamically assign the value of priority rule or heuristic information during the...
