Figure 6. Schematic illustration of the ant algorithm. (At the top). Selection of a shorter path between a nest and a food source by natural ants. The ants travel between the nest and food through trail #1 and trail #2. Initially, ants are distributed equally on both trails. (At the bottom). Since trail #1 is shorter than trail #2, trail #1 becomes their favorite pathway with a higher pheromone concentration. (Adapted from [18])
