In this paper a novel method of reference places’ detection to build topological models is described, as well as an algorithm for route planning based on Fuzzy Petri Nets. The proposed method for the detection of reference places does not employ sensory information but the information provided by the robot’s control subsystem. The reference places and the navigation strategies between places ar...

The growth of applied route tourism initiatives is a worldwide phenomenon. South Africa major focus for planning which part broader place-based development initiatives. This paper examines the perceptions key stakeholders concerning planning, local impacts and challenges Panorama Route located in Africa’s Mpumalanga province. findings are analysed from 63 qualitative interviews undertaken 2022 ...

This paper presents a generic model for using different decision strategies in multi-criteria, personalized route planning. Some researchers have considered user preferences in navigation systems. However, these prior studies typically employed a high tradeoff decision strategy, which used a weighted linear aggregation rule, and neglected other decision strategies. The proposedmodel integrates ...

This paper consists of two parts: planning Co-operative Transport Systems (CTS) with general rules (communication is a new idea in this system) and an investigation into route planning as a part of services provided in CTS. Part one reveals developing new systems for cooperative sensing and predicting flow, infrastructure and environmental conditions surrounding traffic, with a view to improve ...

Navigators use both external cues and internal heuristics to help them plan efficient routes through environments. In six experiments, we discover and seek the origin of a novel heuristic that causes participants to preferentially choose southern rather than northern routes during map-based route planning. Experiment 1 demonstrates that participants who are tasked to choose between two equal-le...

We study an important practical aspect of the route planning problem in real-world road networks – maneuvers. Informally, maneuvers represent various irregularities of the road network graph such as turnprohibitions, traffic light delays, round-abouts, forbidden passages and so on. We propose a generalized model which can handle arbitrarily complex (and even negative) maneuvers, and outline how...

We propose that spatial inferences made during planning and executing a route influence the learning of relative locations through wayfinding. In Experiment 1, separate and combined route plans were compared. The results suggest that inferring multiple directions during the initial stage of planning leads to more accurate representations of relative locations than planning a single route. In Ex...

Ridesharing is considered as one of the promising solutions for dropping the consumption of fuel and reducing the congestion in urban cities, hence reducing the environmental pollution. Route planning is a key component for the success of ridesharing systems in which multiple objectives can be optimized. The multiobjective route planning problem in multi-hop ridesharing is categorized as NP–com...
