Abstract: Using ant colony algorithm to solve Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) has certain disadvantages, such plunging into local minimum, slower convergence speed and so on. In order to find the optimal path accurately and rapidly, an improved ant colony algorithm is proposed. The improved algorithm uses adaptive adjusting mechanism of pheromone decay parameter to adjust the convergence speed and ensure the global search ability. With the help of common path, the computation time is reduced and the better solution can be obtained. Experiments show that, in a relatively few iterations, the percentage deviation of the average solution to the best known solution is 0.46%, and the percentage deviation of the best solution to the best known solution is 0.23%. The improved algorithm has high accuracy and convergence speed.
