Abstract

Based on the grey system theory, the GM (1, 1) forecast model of the lock freight volume is established. The particle swarm optimization and the least square method are adopted respectively to compute the model parameters. Consequent results are analyzed and compared, which shows the particle swarm optimization is better than the least square method. The future lock freight volume is predicted by using the model and the grey forecast method based particle swarm optimization is recommended to be used in the waterway engineering.
