Hey guys, I could really use some help on a problem I have. I have
been stuggling with it in Matlab for many hours now to no avail. Here
it is:
Question 5 – Traveling salesman Location of 6 cities around UOIT is
given as follows. City X- coordinates Y-coordinates
Oshawa (UOIT) 0 0
Toronto -50 -10
Barrie -49 100
Ottawa 100 300
Brampton -100 5
Hamilton 130 -8
a. Locate these cities in a graph and use unique symbols to
distinguish them.
b. Using straight distance between cities, find out what is the best
sequence to visit all the cities with less fuel consumption and show
the best sequence on the previous graph.
c. Find what is the least amount of money in dollars the sales person
is going pay during his trip. (01 L of gas = 83 cents) and the time
he will be behind the wheel, assuming that sales person drives at a
constant speed of 110 Km/h.
If anyone can help me I would be very grateful! TIA!!!
