Performance of Bee Behavior-Based Algorithm for Solving Transportation Problem

In this paper, a new algorithm, called CABI, is proposed for solving unbalanced transportation problem. The algorithm is based on the natural behavior of bees. The efficiency of the algorithm was evaluated and compared to another implemented algorithm based on well-known Tabu Search approach. The investigations have been made using an advanced computer simulation system designed and implemented by the authors. In the paper, some examples of experiments are presented and discussed. The analysis of results of multi-aspects simulations shows advantages of CABI algorithm and justifies the conclusion that CABI seems to be promising for solving some kind of optimization problems.
