Ambulance fastest path using ant colony optimization algorithm

Abstract

The number of the accidents in Tunisia is terrifying and it is considered as the highest in the world while basing on accurate statistics. Such situation requires a very fast intervention. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the study in ambulance management, so as to optimize the strategy of response to a given accident. Based on the defect of the ambulance root choosing, this paper puts forward a new algorithm based on ant colony optimization algorithm to find the best way that minimizes the time while taking into consideration the cases of problems that can appear each time such as traffics, catastrophes natural, etc.
