Distribution routing optimization in special drug based on improved ant colony algorithm.

With the rapid development of medical career, special medicines and transport problems attract much attention nowadays. Transportation for special drug ,which is required to achieve “efficiency first,taking into account the efficiency”,should consider the economic benefits and time requirement.Fundamentally speaking, solving the special drugs transport problems is to reduce the patient’s body to pass drug costs. Based on the analysis of special drug transport properties, the special drug delivery route optimization model which is solving by the Chaos Ant Colony Optimization is established with the objective of minimizing the cost in the paper. It is shown that the Chaos Ant Colony Optimization is effective to slove the model by simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
