Abstract

This study delves into the application of an ant-based algorithm to model cyclist behavior in bicycle-friendly cities, focusing on the critical factors of distance and danger. The research introduces an ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm tailored to simulate cyclists' path choices, aiming to enhance cycling networks. Key topics include the development of the ACO algorithm, parameter settings, and experimental results that demonstrate the algorithm's ability to improve upon existing cycling routes. The study also explores the influence of data order and pheromone values, providing a comprehensive analysis of the algorithm's performance. The findings suggest that the ant algorithm can effectively model cyclist behavior, offering a promising tool for urban planners and transportation experts to optimize cycling infrastructure.
