Layout Design with a Firefly Algorithm for User Interfaces in Vehicle System

With the advancement of science and technology, the interaction between the occupants and the user interface system is becoming more and more complicated. It is of great value to study the layout of the user interface. Given the interface layout of the user interfaces, this paper uses a firefly algorithm (FA) to optimize the interface layout. First, this paper analyzes the layout characteristics of the user interface and then abstracts this problem into a multi-constrained two-dimensional packing problem. Afterward, we summarized the solution of the two-dimensional packing problem, and we established the mathematical model, where the object is to maximize the space occupancy rate of the interface. Finally, this paper uses the firefly algorithm to solve it. The simulation results show that our method has a good effect and improves the utilization of interface space.

I. Introduction

User Interface is a medium for interaction and information exchange between the system and users. It realizes the conversion between the internal form of information and the form acceptable to human beings. User Interfaces exist in all fields involved in human-computer information exchange. The user interface emphasizes humanized human-computer interaction, so it is necessary to design the layout of the interface reasonably.
