Optimization of logistics distribution routing problem based on improved ant colony algorithm

The optimization of logistics distribution routing, which played an important role in the logistics distribution system, needed to be solved by a fast and effective algorithm. Based on analyzing the optimization question of logistics distribution routing and the basic model of ant colony algorithm the paper improved many aspects of the ant colony algorithm to optimize the searching ability and speed up the convergence rate. Satisfied computational results on given problems were reported, which showed that the improved ant colony algorithm was useful and effective.
