Parallel ACO with a Ring Neighborhood for Dynamic TSP

Artificial Intelligence 2020-07-28 v2

Abstract

The current paper introduces a new parallel computing technique based on ant colony optimization for a dynamic routing problem. In the dynamic traveling salesman problem the distances between cities as travel times are no longer fixed. The new technique uses a parallel model for a problem variant that allows a slight movement of nodes within their Neighborhoods. The algorithm is tested with success on several large data sets.
