Management of ant pests in urban environments

Don't Go With the Ant Flow: Ant-Inspired Traffic Routing in Urban Environments

Traffic routing is a well established optimization problem in traffic management. We address here dynamic routing problems where the load of roads is taken into account dynamically, aiming at the optimization of required travel times. We investigate ant-based algorithms that can handle dynamic routing problems, but suffer from negative emergent effects like road congestions. We propose an inver...

Techniques to Estimate Abundance and Monitoring Rodent Pests in Urban Environments

Artificial intelligence techniques for flood risk management in urban environments

Urban flooding is estimated to cause £270 million pounds worth of damage each year in England and Wales alone. There has, therefore, been a clear need to develop improved methods of identifying intervention strategies to reduce flood risk in urban environments. This paper describes ground-work performed towards evaluating the relative suitability of several algorithms applied to multi-objective...

Explanation of Water Indices and Criteria in the Urban Landscape in Order to Improve the Quality of Urban Environments

Water as one of the most essential natural elements of landscape and consequently urban landscape from yesterday till today has had a great impact on the formation and effectiveness of urban spaces and its various effects have always stimulated human tendency towards beauty. It should be noted that the existential values ​​of water are not merely aesthetic, rather it goes back to the deepest an...

ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION ROUTING to MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS in URBAN ENVIRONMENTS

In this paper we present on-demand routing algorithm Enhanced Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for Mobile ad-hoc networks(MANETs). Ant Colony Optimization, a swarm intelligence based optimization technique, is widely used in network routing. These approaches try to map the solution capability of swarms to mathematical and engineering problems. The introduced routing protocol is highly adaptive, ef...
