This article describes a new ant colony optimisation algorithm for the facility localisation problem with a new heuristic pattern proposed by the author, which consists of three parts: the function of the average cost of client servicing; the total minimum cost of servicing from a site, which is selected and included into the solution; the function of improving the cost of already serviced clients. In this comparison, simulations were presented, and two parameters were observed: the number of sites and the cost of client servicing. The new algorithm allowed to improve the solution in both of these parameters.
