An Improved Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Multiple Routing problem

The problem of removing urban waste and burying it is one of the most important urban problems .In this paper, a linear programming model is designed using an integer for multiple distances, which minimizes costs. In this model, warehouses and burial tanks were located in different places. In order to validate the proposed model, several small examples are solved using the GAMS software. Then, a new improved Taguchi algorithm was used, using an improved algorithm to solve the test problems, and large samples were measured
