# Research on the optimal initial shunt strategy of Jiuzhaigou based on the optimization model

• Tourism load imbalance is a serious problem in Jiuzhaigou, which may destroy the environment and reduce the feeling of tourists. A reasonable initial shunt strategy is the key factor in making the scenic become balance. So, this paper considers this problem by finding an optimal initial shunt strategy. An optimization model containing two flow models is built, which takes the total overload balance as objective. In order to solve this model and find the optimal initial shunt strategy, a hGA is proposed as solution method. Finally, a comparison analysis is conducted to show the efficiency of this model in remitting the local overload problem.
