Parameter Setting's Effect on Solution Performance of Ant Colony Algorithm

A research on human emergency evacuation based on revised ACO-CA

“…Default parameters in the simulated experiments are setup as fo llows: Firstly, the heuristic information concentration is distributed in the region randomly by the cosine function. Secondly, the evaporation parameter is defined as p =0.60 [16], total stranded people number is initialized as m =2,0000, the information heuristic fa ctor a =0.5 and fJ =0.8,and then setup the exit coordinate . The bottom row of Table II showsthe fm al population evacuation results of three exits, whichcorresponds with the simulation map (shown in Figure 6).…”
