The Use of the Ant Algorithm in the Model of Safety Management of the Traffic Organization At the Apron

Abstract In the article, traffic safety management on the apron comes down to determining appropriate routes for ground handling vehicles to avoid collision situations with aircraft. The route search problem is a decision problem, so different optimization algorithms are used to solve it. Bearing in mind the growing importance of heuristic algorithms in the effectiveness of solving complex decision problems, the authors of this study analyzed the possibility of using the ant algorithm to determine the driving routes of ground service vehicles. As part of the research, the decision model of traffic safety management on the apron was presented.
