Abstract :
The shortest path searching generally can be divided into two methods, both are
conventional methods and heuristic methods. Heuristic methods are more suitable
than the conventional methods in finding the shortest path with large data. Heuristic
method that is often used in determining the shortest path is the Ant Algorithm. Ant
Algorithm is adopted from the natural behavior of ants that makes finding the shortest
path is faster even when working with large data. After doing examination to every
Ant Algorithm parameters, we conclude that parameters number of ants and many
cycles affect the probability of getting the destination point and the time execution of
searching optimum path, parameters ?ij, q0 and ? affect the probability of getting the
destination point, while parameters ? and ? affect the time execution of searching
optimum path. This optimum path searching application that implements the ant
algorithm is built using Geographic Information System software MapWindow and
Delphi 2009 that is expected to provide enough useful information for road users at
the University of Sumatera Utara.
