A Particle Swarm optimization Algorithm for Layout Design of User Interfaces in Vehicle System

We herein use a Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) approach for vehicle display and control interface layout problem. Firstly, this paper analyzes various constraints encountered in the designing process of the display and control system and considers the type of widget and quantity of interface. Then we consider this problem as a multi-constrained two-dimensional bin packing problem. Finally, this paper establishes the mathematical model, where the object is to maximize the space occupancy rate of the interface. The simulation results with the test showed the effectiveness of particle swarm optimization algorithm.
