An Octant-Based Multi-Objective Optimization Approach for Lightning Warning in High-Risk Industrial Areas by Marcos Antonio Alves, Bruno Alberto Soares Oliveira, Douglas Batista da Silva Ferreira, Ana Paula Paes dos Santos, Osmar Pinto, Fernando Pimentel Silvestrow, Daniel Calvo, Eugenio Lopes Daher

“…This study proposes an octant-based multi-objective optimization approach for spatial lightning alert systems, focusing on minimizing both false alarm rate (FAR) and failure-to-warn (FTW). The method uses NSGA-III to optimize a configuration vector consisting of directional radii and alert thresholds, based solely on historical lightning location data. …”
