Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a popular meta-heuristic used to solve NP problems such as TSP and is popular in areas such as Robotic. This paper will study the feasibility of using ACO to plan a path for human crowd simulation. The idea here is not to find only optimal paths, but to find suitable...
