We briefly report on the current state of a new dynamic algorithm for the route planning problem based on a concept of scope (the static variant presented at ESA’11, [16]). We first motivate dynamization of the concept of scope admissibility, and then we briefly describe a modification of the scope-aware query algorithm of [16] to dynamic road networks. Finally, we outline our future work on th...
