ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHMS WITH DIVERSIFIED SEARCH
IN THE PROBLEM OF OPTIMIZATION OF AIRTRAVEL ITINERARY

Abstract. The formulated problem is to find optimal traveler’s path in airline networks, which takes into account cost of the constructed route and user conditions with time-dependent cost of connections. Ant colony system algorithms are proposed to solve the time-dependent problem represented by an extended flight graph. Unlike the available ant algorithm implementations, the developed algorithms take into account the properties of dynamic networks (time-dependent availability and connections cost) and user conditions. The improved approach to the diversification of search in ant colony system algorithms in terms of time dependence for a dense graph increased the quality of the constructed routes from different regions. The proposed algorithms are analyzed for efficiency based on the analysis of the results of a computational experiment from real data.

Keywords: route optimization, flight network, ant algorithms, search diversification, time-expanded networks, dynamic discretization discovery.
