Route Evacuation Planning is the science of ensuring the safest and most efficient evacuation time of all expected residents of a building, city or region, or transportation carriers (e.g., train, ship, and airplane) from a treat or actual occurrence of a hazard (e.g., natural disasters, traffic, industrial, or nuclear accidents, fire, viral outbreak, etc.) [1]. In any scenario (i.e., building,...

The software package SELBESTTRA offers a choice of the best transportation systems of mineral resources with technical, economic and ecological point of view. By entering of parameters of production and the parameters of the proposed transportation route, the software gives us the best solution regarding the protection of environment through which transport is carried out and that for the best ...

Transportation is the driving force of any country. Today we are facing an explosion in the number of motor vehicles that affects our daily routines. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) aim to provide efficient tools that solve traffic problems. Predicting route congestions during different day periods can help drivers choose better routes for their trips. In this paper we propose “HITS” a...

In-vehicle route guidance systems have seen great development in recent years. They have become an important tool in alleviating congestion in the urban transportation network. As a result of the advantages associated with navigation techniques and popularized digital maps, in-vehicle guidance systems are both economical and useful. In-vehicle route guidance systems are being accepted by more a...

Route suggestions for public transportation has been integrated to different mapping services such as Google Maps or Bing Maps. However, those suggestions are often found to be unreliable for the end-users, mainly because of two reasons. Firstly, these route-finding techniques do not consider traffic conditions on the roads. Secondly, routes are generalized for every user, completely ignoring t...

A route via Lockeridge and the Avon Valley, involving a slide down the chalk escarpment, is postulated for the sarsen stones of Stonehenge. The transportation problem would have been greatly simplified if the stones had been relayed from point to point over snow or slush during successive winters. Markings on the stones hitherto undescribed are interpreted.

Algorithms for route planning in transportation networks have recently undergone a rapid development, leading to methods that are up to three million times faster than Dijkstra’s algorithm. We give an overview of the techniques enabling this development and point out frontiers of ongoing research on more challenging variants of the problem that include dynamically changing networks, time-depend...

Modern ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) applications are designed on Web paradigm, exploiting third-party web services for accessing, for instance, to geographic information and routine such as cartography, route planning or weather condition services. This allows a customer to use the ITS platform as an outsourcing service, due to the Web interface, reducing maintenance costs and improv...

Modern day routing planners are optimized to find the shortest route. This allows us to travel between two places efficiently. However, traveling is not only a means of transportation between two places but can be a recreational activity. In this work a way of generating bicycle routes that are not only based on distance, but consider other factors as well, is proposed. The additional usage of ...
