The invention discloses a
parking lot recommendation method based on an improved
ant colony
algorithm, and the method comprises the steps: S1, setting the number of ants and a
pheromone matrix, and determining a weight parameter of a
heuristic function; s2, in the current iteration, each
ant starts from a starting point, a next node is selected by adopting a roulette strategy according to the
pheromone concentration between the nodes and a
heuristic function value until the next node reaches an end point, a complete path is formed, and in the path construction process, part of ants execute a random walking strategy to perform global exploration; s3, after all the ants complete path construction, a
pheromone matrix is updated uniformly according to the path advantages and disadvantages of all the ants, and the updating process does not include a pheromone volatilization step; and S4, the steps S2 to S3 are executed repeatedly until the iteration termination condition is met, the
global optimal path in all iterations is output as a recommendation result, and the recommendation result at least comprises the target
parking lot, the distance and the passing
time information. The method is suitable for
parking lot recommendation.
