최근 ITS(Intelligent Transportation Systems)의 개발과 함께 차량용 내비게이션의 사용이 급증하면서 경로탐색의 중요성이 더욱 가속화되고 있다. 현재 차량용 내비게이션은 멀티미디어 및 정보통신 기술의 결합과 함께 다양한 기능 및 정보를 사용자에게 제공하고 있으며 이러한 기능과 정보를 사용해서 목적지점까지의 최단경로를 탐색하는 것이 내비게이션 시스템의 핵심기능이다. 이러한 경로탐색 알고리즘은 교통시스템, 통신 네트워크, 운송 시스템은 물론 이동 로봇의 경로 설정 등 다양한 분야에 사용되고 있다. 개미 집단 최적화(Ant Colony Optimization, ACO) 알고리즘은 메타 휴리스틱 탐색 방법으로 그리디 탐색(Greedy Search)뿐만 아니라 긍정적 반응의 탐색을 사용한 모집단에 근거한 접근법으로 순환 판매원 문제(Traveling Salesman Problem, TSP)를 풀기 위해 처음으로 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 개미 집단 최적화(ACO) 알고리즘이 기존의 경로 탐색 알고리즘으로 알려진 Dijkstra 보다 최단경로 탐색에 있어서 더 적합한 알고리즘이라는 것을 설명하고자 한다.

Ant colony optimization(ACO) technique is utilized in truss size optimization with frequency constraints. Total weight of truss to be minimized is considered as the objective function and multiple natural frequencies are adopted as constraints. The modified traveling salesman problem(TSP) is adopted and total length of the TSP tour is interpreted as the weight of the structure. The present ACO-based design optimization procedure uses discrete design variables and the penalty function is introduced to enforce design constraints during optimization process. Three numerical examples are carried out to verify the capability of ACO in truss optimization with frequency constraints. From numerical results, the present ACO is a very effective way of finding optimum design of truss structures in free vibration. Finally, we provide the present numerical results as future reference solutions.

Global e-commerce and delivery companies are actively pursuing last-mile delivery service using drones, and various delivery schedule planning studies have been conducted. In this study, separate individual route networks were constructed to reflect drone route constraints such as prohibited airspace and truck route constraints such as rivers, which previous studies did not incorporate. The A* algorithm was used to calculate the shortest path distance matrix between the starting point and destinations. In addition, we proposed an optimal delivery schedule plan using genetic algorithms and applied it to compare the efficiency with that of vehicle-only delivery.

DualCore 혹은 MultiCore 플랫폼의 보급에 따라 높은 시간복잡도를 갖는 응용들도 사용자의 컴퓨터나 단말에서 수행되어 다양한 서비스를 제공할 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 관광 스케줄을 효율적으로 결정하기 위한 다중목적지 방문 문제에 대해 이중 쓰레드에 기반한 서치 스페이스 탐색 알고리즘을 구현한다. 이는 Traveling Salesman Problem의 한 종류로서 O(n!) 시간 복잡도를 갖고 있으며 검색시의 독립성때문에 각 쓰레드는 병렬적으로 최적의 스케줄을 탐색할 수 있다. 또 현재까지 발견된 최적값을 기반으로 부분 경로의 비용이 이미 최적값을 넘는 경우는 하위 탐색을 제거하여 상당한 성능의 향상을 가져온다. 2.4 GHz Intel(R) Core DuoCPU와 3 GB 메모리로 구성된 플랫폼 상에서 구현된 서비스는 11개의 목적지에 대한 방문 스케줄을 생성함에 있어서 단일 쓰레드 버전은 14.196초, 이중 쓰레드 버전은 6.411초, 제약조건을 포함한 이중 쓰레드 버전은 0.14초에 최적의 스케줄을 찾아낼 수 있다.

2008년 7월 인터넷 기사에 "살인적 노동, 택배 배송직원의 하루"라는 글이 올라왔다. 하루 16시간을 뛰어 다녀야 하는 배송직원들은 자신이 배달하는 지역별로 차에 물건을 싣는 동시에 배송지역을 지도로 확인하는 작업까지 해야 한다. 그리고 배달경로 설정 또한 전적으로 그 지역 배송직원의 개인적인 노하우에 의존하여 이루어진다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 물건의 배송정보가 RFID에 저장이 되어있다는 가정하에 지리정보시스템과 TSP(Traveling salesman problem)을 이용하여 차에 실려있는 물건의 배송지역을 디스플레이해주고 다수의 경유지를 최소 거리와 최소 시간에 방문할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다.

An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a powered pilotless aircraft, which is controlled remotely or autonomously. UAVs are an attractive alternative for many scientific and military organizations. UAVs can perform operations that are considered to be risky or uninhabitable for human. UA V s are currently employed in many military missions such as reconnaissance, surveillance, enemy radar jamming, decoying, suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD), fixed and moving target attack, and air-to-air combat. UAVs also are employed in a number of civilian applications such as monitoring ozone depletion, inclement weather, traffic congestion, and taking images of dangerous territory. For accomplishing the UAV's missions, guarantee of survivability should be preceded. The main objective of this study is to suggest a mathematical programming model and a $A^*PS$-PGA (A-star with Post Smoothing-Parallel Genetic Algorithm) for an UAV's path planning to maximize survivability. A mathematical programming model is composed by using MRPP (Most Reliable Path Problem) and TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem). A path planning algorithm for UAV is applied by transforming MRPP into SPP (Shortest Path Problem).

The Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP) is one of the NP-complete (None-deterministic Polynomial time complete) route optimization problems. Its calculation time increases very rapidly as the number of nodes does. Therefore, the near optimum solution has been searched by heuristic algorithms rather than the real optimum has. This paper reviews the Ant System Algorithm(ANS), an heuristic algorithm of TSP and its applicability in the parcel delivery service in Korea. ASA, which is an heuristic algorithm of NP-complete has been studied by M. Dorigo in the early 1990. ASA finds the optimum route by the probabilistic method based on the cumulated pheromone on the links by ants. ASA has been known as one of the efficient heuristic algorithms in terms of its calculation time and result. Its applications have been expanded to vehicle routing problems, network management and highway alignment planning. The precise criteria for vehicle routing has not been set up in the parcel delivery service of Korea. Vehicle routing has been determined by the vehicle deriver himself or herself. In this paper the applicability of ASA to the parcel delivery service has been reviewed. When the driver s vehicle routing is assumed to follow the Nearest Neighbor Algorithm (NNA) with 20 nodes (pick-up and drop-off places) in $10Km{\times}10Km$ service area, his or her decision was compared with ASA's one. Also, ASA showed better results than NNA as the number of nodes increases from 10 to 200. If ASA is applied, the transport cost savings could be expected in the parcel delivery service in Korea.

Path planning is an important task for optimal motion of a robot in structured or unstructured environment. The goal of this paper is to plan the shortest collision-free path in 3D, when a robot is navigated to pick up some tools or to repair some parts from various locations. To accomplish the goal of this paper, the Path Coordinator is proposed to have the capabilities of an obstacle avoidance strategy[3] and a traveling salesman problem strategy(TSP)[23]. The obstacle avoidance strategy is to plan the shortest collision-free path between each pair of n locations in 2D or in 3D. The TSP strategy is to compute a minimal system cost of a tour that is defined as a closed path navigating each location exactly once. The TSP strategy can be implemented by the Neural Network. The obstacle avoidance strategy in 2D can be implemented by the VGraph Algorithm. However, the VGraph Algorithm is not useful in 3D, because it can't compute the global optimality in 3D. Thus, the Path Coordinator is proposed to solve this problem, having the capabilities of selecting the optimal edges by the modified Genetic Algorithm[21] and computing the optimal nodes along the optimal edges by the Recursive Compensation Algorithm[5].

This paper addresses a welding task sequencing for robot arc welding process planning. Although welding task sequencing is an essential step in the welding process planning, it has not been considered through a systematic approach, but it depends rather on empirical knowledge. Thus, an effective task sequencing for robot arc welding is required. Welding perations can be classified by the number of welding robots. Genetic algorithms are applied to tackle those welding task sequencing problems. A genetic algorithm for traveling salesman problem (TSP) is utilized to determine welding task sequencing for a MultiWeldline-SingleLayer problem. Further, welding task sequencing for multiWeldline-MultiLayer welding is investigated and appropriate genetic algorithms are introduced. A random key genetic algorithm is also proposed to solve multi-robot welding sequencing : MultiWeldline with multi robots. Finally, the genetic algorithm are implemented for the welding task sequencing of three dimensional weld plate assemblies. Robot welding operations conforming to the algorithms are simulated in graphic detail using a robot simulation software IGRIP.

One of the important fields for heuristics algorithm is how to balance between Intensificationand Diversification. Ant Colony System(ACS) is a new meta heuristics algorithm to solve hard combinatorial optimization problem. It is a population based approach that uses exploitation of positive feedback as well as greedy search. It was first proposed for tackling the well known Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP). In this paper, we propose Multi Colony Interaction Ant Model that achieves positive negative interaction through elite strategy divided by intensification strategy and diversification strategy to improve the performance of original ACS. And, we apply multi colony interaction ant model by this proposed elite strategy to TSP and compares with original ACS method for the performance.
