Abstract

Road Transport enterprises do have the need of fleet management applications in order to upgrade their efficiency; the fulfilment of that need takes us in the search of optimization algorithms whose performance better suits not only the optimal route search problem, but the resource allocation too. ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) meta-heuristic has proven to be very useful when solving similar problems, but as ACO comes in several different flavours, to make the right algorithm choice is the first step in the search for a solution. This document presents a performance study made upon several ACO algorithms over the fleet management problem, with the objective of determining which one is the best finding the optimal solution in a reasonable amount of time.
