Abstract

In addressing the layout planning and path optimization problem of recycling bins in urban residential areas, this paper constructed a linear function to relate the number of recycling bins in residential areas to population, recycling frequency, and recycling threshold. It developed a bi-level optimization model, with the upper-level objective of maximizing total recycling profit and the lower-level objective of minimizing transportation costs. To address the NP-hard nature of the model, it designed a human learning optimization algorithm incorporating group learning operators and adaptive selection strategies. This algorithm was combined with a tabu search algorithm to form the hybrid human learning optimization algorithm(HHLO). The new algorithm was compared with basic human learning algorithms, genetic algorithms, adaptive particle swarm algorithms and red-billed blue magpie optimization algorithms across various scale instances. The results validate the model's feasibility and the algorithm's effectiveness. A sensitivity analysis, using a case study in Shanghai's Yangpu District, examined how recycling bin capacity, time-based pricing strategies, and zone-based pricing strategies impacted the total profit of the recycling center and resident satisfaction.
