Mountain Car Optimisation — Search & Evolutionary Algorithms
Implemented and compared BGA, PSO and (1+1) ES for the Mountain Car problem using penalised cost functions and optimisation constraints.
Year: 2024Category: Optimisation
Project Overview
Coursework implementing the Mountain Car optimisation problem with a fully penalised cost function integrating distance, throttle usage, time, and collision constraints. Includes comparative algorithm performance analysis across BGA, PSO and ES, discussion of convergence, parameter tuning, and statistical evaluation of best-cost solutions.
