Shortest Path in Transportation Network and Weighted Subdivisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The shortest path problem asks for a path between two given points such that the sum of its edges is minimized. The problem has a rich history and has been studied extensively since the 1950’s in many areas of computer science, among them network optimization, graph theory and computational geometry. In this chapter we consider two versions of the problem; the shortest path in a transportation network and the shortest path in a weighted subdivision, sometimes called a terrain.

SOLVING BEST PATH PROBLEM ON MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS WITH FUZZY COSTS
Numerous algorithms have been proposed to solve the shortest-pathproblem; many of them consider a single-mode network and crispcosts. Other attempts have addressed the problem of fuzzy costs ina single-mode network, the so-called fuzzy shortest-path problem(FSPP). The main contribution of the present work is to solve theoptimum path problem in a multimodal transportation network, inwhich the co...
متن کاملThe Lagrangian Relaxation Method for the Shortest Path Problem Considering Transportation Plans and Budgetary Constraint
In this paper, a constrained shortest path problem (CSP) in a network is investigated, in which some special plans for each link with corresponding pre-determined costs as well as reduction values in the link travel time are considered. The purpose is to find a path and selecting the best plans on its links, to improve the travel time as most as possible, while the costs of conducting plans do ...

متن کاملComplexity in human transportation networks: a comparative analysis of worldwide air transportation and global cargo-ship movements
We present a comparative network-theoretic analysis of the two largest global transportation networks: the worldwide air-transportation network (WAN) and the global cargo-ship network (GCSN). We show that both networks exhibit surprising statistical similarities despite significant differences in topology and connectivity. Both networks exhibit a discontinuity in node and link betweenness distr...
متن کاملk-Link Shortest Paths in Weighted Subdivisions
We study the shortest path problem in weighted polygonal subdivisions of the plane, with the additional constraint of an upper bound, k, on the number of links (segments) in the path. We prove structural properties of optimal paths and utilize these results to obtain approximation algorithms that yield a path having O(k) links and weighted length at most (1 + ǫ) times the weighted length of an ...
