Ant Colony Optimized Routing Strategy for Electric Vehicles

Algorithm 1

EV routing algorithm using ACO.

Set the start node and the destination node

Initialize pheromones to the value on all arcs

For iteration to do

For ant to do

let be the start node for ant k

current node =

While (next node != destination node)

calculate the probabilities of the neighbors of the current node using Equation (5)

determine the next node based on the calculated probabilities

current node = next node

EndWhile

EndFor

update the pheromones on all arcs using Equation (6) and (7)

EndFor
