Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Optimizing Assignment of Blood in Blood Banking System
Table 5
Various values used for defining the different datasets used in the simulation.
| Dataset | Initial total volume of blood in bank | Running time (days) | Upper and lower bounds for requests (%) | Upper and lower bounds for donations (%) | Remark |
| 1 | 500 | 90 | | | These datasets were used to test the algorithm with different initial volume | 2 | 1000 | 90 | | | 3 | 2000 | 90 | | |
| 4 | 1000 | 90 | | | These datasets were used to test the algorithm when the ratios of requests to donations are unequal | 5 | 1000 | 90 | | |
| 6 | 500 | 365 | | | These datasets were used to test the volume of blood units that will expire when the bank is run for a year | 7 | 1000 | 365 | | |
