Ants have 250,000 brain cells. They are the cleverest of all insects. The "traffic system" they designed can make the whole ant nest system orderly, and hundreds of ants can walk freely and efficiently. According to the principle of bionics, human beings can get some inspiration from ant thinking.

In other words, the returning ant sends a message to the oncoming companion, telling him that the traffic situation ahead is not good and asking him to choose another road. Although the distance of the other road is far, it is the best choice to avoid the short cut and take the long road because it avoids the possible congestion. By studying the above-mentioned "traffic rules" of ants, human beings can take similar measures to reduce traffic congestion.

Extended data:

Dilk Hellbing, a professor at Dresden University of Technology and an expert in swarm intelligence, and his colleagues designed an experiment: Dilk Hellbing and his colleagues created an ant highway with two different paths between the nest and syrup. After the experiment began, the narrow road soon showed signs of congestion, but at this time, an ant returning from syrup met another ant who was about to leave at the door of the ant nest, and the returning ant "pushed" the ant to another road.

Therefore, the congestion on narrow roads was immediately alleviated. With the help of the traffic mode of ants, they made a more complicated simulation experiment on the computer and designed many paths with different lengths. In this way, ants can still go their own way, be busy but not chaotic, and reach the food position quickly and efficiently.
