The task of path planning for aircraft has received considerable attention in the research literature. The problem involves computing a collision-free path between a start point and a target point in environment of known obstacles. In this paper, we investigate an obstacle avoidance path planning problem using the MAKLINK graph theory and multi ant colony system, in which several colonies of ants cooperate in finding optimal solution by exchanging good information. The result of computer simulation experiment shows that the proposed method is effective and can be used in the path planning of aircraft.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
