Abstract

Travelling Salesman Problem is the most widely studied combinatorial optimization problem which has attracted many researchers in the last few years. It is recognized as one of popular NP-Hard problem that has broad search space. TSP is a difficult problem which can't be solved by conventional methods particularly when the number of cities increases. So, to solve this problem efficiently, heuristic approach is the most feasible solution. Genetic Algorithm and Ant Colony Optimization are commonly used metaheuristics to solve TSP successfully. To solve TSP, this paper considers the three eminent heuristic approaches namely ACO, GA and hybrid GA-ACO.
