With the rapid growth in the number of vehicles, energy consumption and environmental pollution in urban transportation have become a worldwide problem. Efforts to reduce urban congestion and provide green intelligent transport become a hot field of research. In this paper, a multimetric ant colony optimization algorithm is presented to achieve real-time dynamic path planning in complicated urban transportation. Firstly, four attributes are extracted from real urban traffic environment as the pheromone values of ant colony optimization algorithm, which could achieve real-time path planning. Then Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution methods is adopted in forks to select the optimal road. Finally, a vehicular simulation network is set up and many experiments were taken. The results show that the proposed method can achieve the real-time planning path more accurately and quickly in vehicular networks with traffic congestion. At the same time it could effectively avoid local optimum compared with the traditional algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
