An Improved Intelligent Water Drop Algorithm for a Real-Life Waste Collection Problem

摘要

In this paper, we have proposed an improved Intelligent Water Drop (IWD) Algorithm. The IWD algorithm has been proposed by-observing the dynamic flow of water in the river system and the actions of the water drops. The water drops act as agents to find the optimal solution. In this paper, we have modified the original IWD algorithm and proposed an improved variant of it. We have implemented our proposed algorithms to solve a real-life waste collection problem. Our algorithms have shown promising results.
