Presently, gas is one of the most important natural resources available on Earth. Gas is required in many fields. Gas flow from one source to the destination using pipes. Flowing is gas through pipes sometime can be very risky. For, the flow of gas through piles one should follow the smallest path as per the distance. But, not only the distance one should take care of the pressure as well. Pressure at different points also plays an important role in the flow of gas. Optimizing the pipeline route plays an important role in making the transportation eco-friendly, efficient and safe. As per the literature, the flow of gas is done using brute force algorithms (Complexity-O(|V|)), Dijkstra Algorithm (Complexity-O|V|2), Dynamic Programming Algorithms (Complexity-O(|V|22|V|)), where, |V| is representing the number of nodes. In this paper, Traveling Salesman Problem is being solved using Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm taking pressure and distances for the flow of gas from one point to another point.
