Solving a multi-objective heterogeneous sensor network location problem with genetic algorithm

In this paper, we consider a multi-purpose two-level location problem introduced by Karatas (2020) to improve the coverage performance of heterogeneous sensor networks. The problem basically seeks to determine the best location scheme of sensors of different types and characteristics in a belt-shaped boundary area with the purpose of providing a sufficient level of field, point and barrier coverage against different types of intruders. To solve...
