Abstract: This paper proposes an approach for setting parameters of the control of balance by card-based navigation (Cobacabana). On the one hand, a commercial software ARENA was used in a simulation phase. On the other hand, Antcoba was utilised in an optimisation phase. The main objective of the paper is to apply a hybrid optimal algorithm as simulation optimisation for obtaining model parameters. Numerical data using real data from a case study was used for evaluating the proposed algorithm. The experiment shows that the algorithm is efficient and satisfies.
