                  This project is aimed at improving route planning by decreasing the total travel distance and the number of vehicles used by a provate transportation company dedicated to driving its corporate clients' staff. This type of companies carries out their route planning process manually and their success is highly dependent on the planner's experience and the know-how of drivers who go along the streets of Lima Metropolitana on a daily basis. These are the main reasons behind the problems related to excessive use of vehicles and the long travel distances to cover. In this context, the proposed solution starts by analyzing the company's planning processes, and then proceed to search for alternative solutions expressed in algorithms that can optimally perform the calculation of the routes. A system based on an ant colony is chosen, then a mathematical model is prepared, and the algorithm is adap...
