Improving ant colony optimization to solve the travelling salesman problem


Abstract:

In this paper we propose an improvement of Ant Colony Optimization to solve the Travelling Salesman Problem. In this case, we use the Ant Colony System algorithm. The basic idea is to split the heuristic search performed by ants into two stages. That is, a multilevel approach is used. Also, the effect of using local search was analyzed. Experimental results obtained show this new approach significantly improves the Ant Colony System in terms of the computation time needed.
