PsoPath

The shortest path problem is solved by many methods. Heuristics offer lower complexity in expense of accuracy. There are many use cases where the lower accuracy is acceptable in return of lower consumption of computing resources. The basic idea of Particle Swarm Optimization is the emulation of the social behaviour of, e.g., a flock of birds, as a stochastic optimisation method. Specifically, a particle is an entity representing a solution in the search space. Several particles cooperate inside an algorithmic flow to occupy positions close to the best solution.
