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
