    It is very difficult to know evolution state of ACO in its working. To solve the problem, we propose using colony entropy and mean colony entropy to monitor the algorithm. The two functions show fluctuation and declining trends depended on time t in a tour and iteration number. According to the principle, that each updated edge will get the same increment is improper. Then a weighted algorithm is proposed to calculate each arc's increment based on its selected probability. The strategy can provide more exploration to help to find the global optimum value, and experiments show its improved performance.
