In the proposed framework, we use the genetic algorithm to optimize the ACS parameters in order to attain the best trips and travelling time through several novel functions to help ants to update the global and local pheromones. The GACS framework is implemented using the VANETsim package and the real city maps from the open street map project. The experimental results show that our framework achieves a considerably higher performance than A-Star and the classical ACS algorithms in terms of the length of the global best path and the time for trips. Moreover, the GACS framework is also efficient in solving the congestion problem by online monitoring the conditions of traffic light systems. publisher: VNU date: 2020 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Nguyen, Thi-Hau and Do, Trung-Tuan and Nguyen, Duc-Nhan and Lu, Dang Nhac and Nguyen, Ha Nam (2020) A Hybrid Method Based on Genetic Algorithm and Ant Colony System for Traffic Routing Optimization.
