Ant colony system in ambulance navigation

This paper describes the ant-based vehicle navigation algorithm (known from literature) and then proposes its modification. Because the performance of these two versions of the algorithm is unsatisfactory, the new, really revised algorithm is introduced. Experiments performed on real-world data show, that this new algorithm is much more efficient and gives better results than its predecessors. The proposed algorithm may be used in the rescue, where ambulances need the useful and efficient method to plan a route to the patient.
