An Improved Ant Colony Algorithm for the Location of Logistics Center

Abstract:

Logistics center selection is a traditional problem which many scholars study. But it has no solution because of complexity of the problem. The selection of the correct towns as logistics center is very difficult, particularly when the number of the towns is very large. This paper presents the ant colony algorithm for the selection of logistics center, and selects the logistics center by the pheromone. Firstly, we present a mathematical model, and then test the feasible of the ant colony algorithm by simulation. The result shows that the ant colony algorithm is feasible for logistics center selections
