도심부의 도로네트워크에서는 도로구간의 주행시간에 비하여 교차로에서의 신호운영 및 방향별 회전으로 인하여 발생하는 통행시간이 차량주행시간에 더 큰 영향을 끼친다고 판단하는 바 이를 고려한 경로탐색이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 신호교차로에서의 비효용을 적용하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단하여 본 연구에서는 경로 탐색시 턴 페널티(Turn Penalty)를 반영하고자 하였다. 적용한 턴 페널티는 하나의 교차로에서 동일한 지체값을 적용하는 것이 아닌 교차로에서의 접근로별로, 또 동일 접근로 내에서도 회전 방향별로 나누어서 지체를 산정하여 적용하였다. 해당 연구에서 적용한 네트워크는 강남구 16개의 교차로를 포함하는 네트워크이며 미시시뮬레이션 프로그램인 PARAMICS V5.2을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 네트워크를 통행시간지표, 임의의 턴 페널티를 적용, 산정된 턴 페널티를 적용한 Dijkstra알고리즘의 세 가지 방법으로 경로탐색을 시행하여 이를 비교·분석하였다. 분석 결과 다수의 교차로가 분포한 도심부 네트워크에서의 경로탐색에서는 통행시간지표를 활용한 경로탐색이 바람직하며 턴 페널티를 적용한 통행시간지표 Dijkstra알고리즘을 이용한 경로탐색기법이 타 기법에 비하여 경로통행시간을 단축하는 것으로 산출되었다. 해당 기법의 활용으로 인하여 경로탐색제공에서의 하나의 대안 경로로써 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다

In road network, especially in urban area, inefficiency of travel time is caused by signal control and turn maneuver at intersection and this inefficiency has substantial effects on travel time. When searching for the shortest path, this inefficiency which is caused by turn maneuver must be considered. Therefore, travel time, vehicle volume and delay for each link were calculated by using simulation package, PARAMICS V5.2 for adaptation of turn penalty at 16 intersections of Gangnam-gu. Turn penalty was calculated respectively for each intersection. Within the same intersection, turn penalty differs by each approaching road and turn direction so the delay was calculated for each approaching road and turn direction. Shortest path dealing with 16 intersections searched by Dijkstra algorithm using travel time as cost, considering random turn penalty, and algorithm considering calculated turn penalty was compared and analyzed. The result shows that by considering turn penalty searching the shortest path can decrease the travel time can be decreased. Also, searching the shortest path which considers turn penalty can represent reality appropriately and the shortest path considering turn penalty can be utilized as an alternative.

시간 종속적 가로망에 대한 최단경로 탐색은 ITS분야의 경로 일정계획과 실시간 내비게이션 시스템에서 중요한 부분을 차지한다. 본 연구에서는 매시간간격 변동적인 링크 통행속도를 고려하는 one-to-one 시간 종속적 최단시간 경로 알고리즘을 제시한다. 이를 위해, 먼저 기존의 일반적인 최단거리 경로 알고리즘 중에서 실제 도로망에서 비교적 빠르고 효율적인 알고리즘으로 알려져 있는 3가지의 알고리즘들, 즉, two queues 구조를 가진 Graph growth 알고리즘, approximate buckets 구조를 가진 Dijkstra 알고리즘, double buckets 구조를 가진 Dijkstra 알고리즘이 선택되었다. 이 알고리즘들은 모두 네트워크 내 하나의 노드에서 모든 노드(one-to-all)로의 최단거리 경로를 빠르게 탐색하기위해 개발되었다. 선택된 알고리즘들은 시간 종속적 도로망에 대해 하나의 출발노드에서 하나의 목적노드(one-to-one)로의 최단시간 경로 탐색이 가능하도록 확장된다. 또한, 제안된 3가지의 시간 종속적 최단시간 경로탐색 알고리즘들은 미국의 Anaheim, Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia 4개 도시의 실제 가로망에 적용하여 검증·평가된다. 결과적으로, 도시부 가로망을 대상으로 한 시간 종속적 최단시간 경로탐색 알고리즘으로 double buckets 구조를 가진 확장된 Dijkstra 알고리즘이 추천된다.

Finding shortest paths on time dependent networks is an important task for scheduling and routing plan and real-time navigation system in ITS. In this research, one-to-one time dependent shortest path algorithms based on link flow speeds on urban networks are proposed. For this work, first we select three general shortest path algorithms such as Graph growth algorithm with two queues, Dijkstra’s algorithm with approximate buckets and Dijkstra’s algorithm with double buckets. These algorithms were developed to compute shortest distance paths from one node to all nodes in a network and have proven to be fast and efficient algorithms in real networks. These algorithms are extended to compute a time dependent shortest path from an origin node to a destination node in real urban networks. Three extended algorithms are implemented on a data set from real urban networks to test and evaluate three algorithms. A data set consists of 4 urban street networks for Anaheim, CA, Baltimore, MD, Chicago, IL, and Philadelphia, PA. Based on the computational results, among the three algorithms for TDSP, the extended Dijkstra’s algorithm with double buckets is recommended to solve one-to-one time dependent shortest path for urban street networks.

본 연구에서는 최단경로를 반드시 찾아내는 Dijkstra 알고리즘의 장점과 최단경로 탐색 소요시간을 단축시키는 A* 알고리즘의 장점을 결합시킨 새로운 최단경로 탐색 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 개발한 알고리즘은 탐색노드에서 목적노드까지의 최소 기대 부하량을 산출하고 이 값을 이용하여 계속 탐색 또는 이전 탐색노드로의 후퇴를 결정한다. 최소 기대 부하량은 목적노드까지의 직선거리에 최소 가로 부하량 원단위를 곱하여 산출하는데, 적용하는 네트워크에서는 그 값 이하의 부하량이 존재할 수 없는 값이다. 개발한 알고리즘을 실제 네트워크에 적용하여 최단경로를 탐색해 본 결과, 어느 정도의 탐색 소요시간은 필요로 하나, 완벽하게 최단경로를 구축하는 것으로 나타났다. 개발한 알고리즘은 광역의 네트워크를 이용하는 차량 경로 안내시스템 등에서 효과를 가질 것으로 판단한다.

This paper developed a new shortest path searching algorithm based on Dijkstra's algorithm and A* algorithm, so it guarantees to find a shortest path in efficient manner. In this developed algorithm, minimum expected weights implies the value that straight line distance from a visiting node to the target node multiplied by minimum link unit, and this value can be the lowest weights between the two nodes. In behalf of the minimum expected weights, at each traversal step, developed algorithm in this paper is able to decide visiting a new node or retreating to the previously visited node, and results are guaranteed. Newly developed algorithm was tested in a real traffic network and found that the searching time of the algorithm was not as fast as other A* algorithms, however, it perfectly found a minimum path in any case. Therefore, this developed algorithm will be effective for the domain of searching in a large network such as RGV which operates in wide area.

본 연구에서는 최단경로 탐색 소요시간을 줄이기 위한 목적으로 탐색영역을 축소하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 개발 된 알고리즘은 출발노드와 목적노드를 최소의 노드 수로 연결하면서 직선거리의 합이 최소인 임시경로를 구축하고, 구축된 임시경로의 부하량 보다 적은 부하량의 경로를 연결할 가능성이 있는 노드들을 찾는 것이다. 하나의 노드에서 출발노드까지의 직선거리와 목적노드까지의 직선거리 합이 임시경로의 부하량을 최소 가로 부하량 원단위로 나눈 값 보다 적을 경우, 그 노드는 임시경로 보다 더 적은 부하량을 가질 수 있는 경로를 구성할 가능성이 있는 노드가 된다. 이와 같은 노드들만을 탐색영역으로 하면 탐색영역이 축소됨에 따라 최단경로 탐색 소요시간을 줄일 수 있게 된다. 개발된 알고리즘은 큰 탐색영역에서 출발노드와 목적노드가 가까울 경우 더욱 효과적이다.

This study developed searching network reduction algorithm for reduce shortest path searching time. Developed algorithm is searching nodes that have the including possibility of less weights path than temporal path that consists minimum number of nodes and minimum sum of the straight line distances. The node that has the including possibility of shortest path is the node that the sum of straight line distance from start node and straight line distance to target node is less than the value that temporary path's weights divided by minimum weights units. If searching network reconstitutes only these nodes, the time of shortest path searching will be reduced. This developed algorithm has much effectiveness that start node and target node is close in large network.

Dijkstar 알고리즘에 기초하는 최단경로 탐색 알고리즘의 탐색속도 향상에 관한 많은 연구들이 지속되어 왔다. 그 대표적인 알고리즘이 A* 알고리즘이다. 빠른 탐색속도는 A* 알고리즘의 장점이지만, 복잡하고 불규칙한 가로 네트워크에서 실제의 최단경로 탐색이 실패할 확률이 높다. 탐색실패란 목적노드를 탐색하지 못한 경우와 최단경로가 아닌 경로를 구축하는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구는 A* 알고리즘의 최단경로 탐색 성공확률을 높이기 위한 방법으로 일차적으로 출발노드와 목적노드 간 연결 관계를 정리하고, 목적노드에서 출발노드까지 정리된 경로에 따라 A* 알고리즘을 역으로 적용한 것이다. 이 방법은 네트워크 및 경로 부하량 특성에 따라 실제의 최단경로가 아닌 경로를 최단경로로 구축하는 경우가 발생할 수는 있으나, 경로구축의 완전한 실패는 발생시키지 않는다. 이 방법을 실제 복잡한 네트워크에 적용하여 유효성을 검증한 결과, 통상적인 A* 알고리즘의 적용보다 탐색 소요시간은 약간 증가하나, 정확성은 상당히 높아지는 것으로 분석되었다.

The studies on the shortest path algorithms based on Dijkstra algorithm has been done continuously to decrease the time for searching. A* algorithm is the most represented one. Although fast searching speed is the major point of A* algorithm, there are high rates of failing in search of the shortest path, because of complex and irregular networks. The failure of the search means that it either did not find the target node, or found the shortest path, witch is not true. This study proposed A* algorithm applying method that can reduce searching failure rates, preferentially organizing the relations between the starting node and the targeting node, and appling it in reverse according to the organized path. This proposed method may not build exactly the shortest path, but the entire failure in search of th path would not occur. Following the developed algorithm tested in a real complex networks, it revealed that this algorithm increases the amount of time than the usual A* algorithm, but the accuracy rates of the shortest paths built is very high.

Trust in e-commerce has become one of the most important issues in online applications. Constantly, a user will only search for the most credible of goods and service providers and then take on their transactions. How to confirm which service providers are the most trusted for a user has become the most critical problems. This paper presents a trust network and small world trust community clustering for the analysis of the users most trusted relationship. It uses the nodes to represent the various subjects involved in the trust and use the connection links to denote relationships. The weight of the links indicates the strength of the relationships. First, it construct a trust network diagram which has the weight value of links, and then to analyze the clustering properties of the relationship according to the weights and the path length. At last, it classifies the most trusted subjects to the same cluster for a user. Local trust recommendation degree and global trust recommendation degree are used to evaluate trust relations among subjects and it gives an improved shortest path algorithm to construct trust network. A clustering algorithm based on coefficient and path length is presented for e-commerce trust network community. Experiments show that the method of building trust through the network model can well describe the main indirect e-commerce trust and the algorithm has obvious advantages in accuracy and time cost.

Recently, shortest path tree construction is essential in network routing. Dijkstra algorithm, one of the static routing algorithms, is widely used. When some links develop new weights, dynamic routing algorithms become more efficient than static routing algorithms. This is because dynamic routing algorithms reduce the redundancy caused by re-computing the affected part of the network in regards to the changed links. However, dynamic routing algorithms are not always efficient in some cases and increase the computation time when making the shortest path tree. In this paper, we present a Hybrid Shortest Path Tree (HSPT) algorithm which reduces the total execution time of shortest path tree computation by using the advantages of both static and dynamic routing algorithms. Comparisons with the other routing algorithms such as Dijkstra, Dynamic Dijkstra and RDSP show that the HSPT algorithm provides a better performance as demonstrated by the decrease in the execution time.

본 논문은 실시간 GPS 항법시스템에서 최단경로 탐색에 일반적으로 적용되고 있는 Dijkstra 알고리즘의 수행 복잡도 을 선형인 으로 단축시킬 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. Dijkstra 알고리즘은 출발 노드부터 시작하여 모든 노드를 방문하여 최소 경로 길이를 계산한다. 따라서 “노드 수 -1”회를 수행하야 하기 때문에 복잡한 도로로 구성된 도시에서 실시간으로 최단경로 정보를 제공할 수 없는 경우도 발생한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 먼저, 그래프를 트리로, 출발 노드를 근 노드로 치환하여 트리의 각 레벨에 해당하는 외부근방 (Out-Neighbourhood) 노드 집합을 구성하고, 외부근방간과 외부근방 내부의 최소 경로 길이를 계산하는 방법을 적용하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 양방향과 일방통행로로 구성된 복잡한 2개 그래프에 대해 알고리즘을 적용한 결과 Dijkstra 알고리즘과 동일하게 모든 노드의 최소 경로 길이를 얻는데 성공하였다. 또한, 알고리즘 수행속도를 “노드 수 -1”회에서 “레벨 수 -1”회로 약 4배 정도 단축시키는 효과를 얻었다. 제안된 알고리즘을 GPS 실시간 시스템에 적용하여 러시아워나 차량 사고로 인한 병목현상이 발생하였을 때, 최단 경로 우회 도로 정보를 실시간으로 제공할 수 있다면 운전자의 만족도를 크기 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.

This paper suggests an algorithm that can shorten the complexity O(n²) of Dijkstra algorithm that is applied to the shortest path searching in real-time GPS Navigation System into an up-to-date O(n). Dijkstra algorithm manipulates the distance of the minimum length path by visiting all the nodes from the starting node. Hence, it has one disadvantage of not being able to provide the information on the shortest path every second, in a city that consists of sophisticated roads, since it has to execute number of node minus 1. The suggested algorithm, firstly, runs by means of organizing the set of out-neighbourhood nodes at each level of the tree, and root node for departure node. It also uses a method of manipulating the distance of the minimum path of all out-neighborhoods and interior of the out-neighborhoods. On applying the suggested algorithm to two sophisticated graphs consisted of bi-direction and uni-direction, we have succeeded to obtain the distance of the minimum length path, just as same as Dijkstra algorithm. In addition, it has an effect of shortening the time taken 4 times from number of node minus1 to number of level minus 1. The satisfaction of the drivers can be increased by providing the information on shortest path of detour, every second, when occurs any rush hour or any traffic congestion due to car accident, by applying this suggested algorithm to the real-time GPS system.

네비게이션의 최단 경로 탐색 알고리즘은 일반적으로 Dijkstra 알고리즘에 기반을 두고 있으며, 가중치로 단지 길이 (거리) 만을 고려하고 있다. 거리 기반의 Dijkstra 알고리즘은 출발 노드부터 시작하여 그래프의 모든 노드에 대한 최단 경로를 결정하기 때문에 일반적으로 노드의 수 - 1회를 수행해야 하며, 알고리즘 수행에 많은 메모리가 요구된다. 또한, 거리에만 기반하기 때문에 전방에 차량사고로 인해 병목현상이 발생하였을 때 우회도로를 탐색하는 기능이 없어 항상 동일한 경로만을 탐색한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자, 본 논문은 도로 등급 (고속도로, 국도, 지방도 등)을 고려하지 않고, 속도 기준 (원활, 지체 서행, 정체, 사고 통제 등)도 적용하지 않으며, 단지 도로별 주행시간 (주행속도 x 거리)을 고려한다. 이는 사고, 지체, 공사 등으로 인해 동일한 거리의 도로도 다른 시간이 소요되는 현실성을 반영하여 우회도로를 탐색할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 제안된 알고리즘은 특정 도로에서 사고가 발생하였다고 가정한 경우에도 도로의 통행속도를 실시간으로 반영함으로서 돌발지점을 우회하여 목적지 까지 최단시간 내에 도달 할 수 있음을 증명하였다.

The shortest path search algorithm of navigation is generally based on Dijkstra algorithm and considers only the distance using the weight. Dijkstra algorithm based on the distance mainly ought to perform the 'number of nodes 1' and requires a lot of memory, for it is to start from the starting node and to decide the shortest path for all the nodes. Also, it searches only the same identical path in case of any bottleneck due to an accident nearby, since it is based only on the distance, and hence does not have a system that searches the detour road. In order to solve this problem, this paper considers only the travelling time per road (travelling speed * distance), without applying speed criteria (smoothness, slow speed, stagnation and accident control) or road class (express road, national road and provincial road). This provides an advantage of searching the detour, considering the reality that there are differences in time take for the car to travel on different roads with same distance, due to any accident, stagnation, or repair construction. The suggested algorithm proves that it can help us to reach the destination within the shortest time, making a detour from any congested road (outbreak) on providing an information on traveling time continuously(real-time) even though there is an accident in a particular road.

The shortest path between two points inside a simple polygon P is a minimum-length path among all paths connecting them which don't pass by the exterior of P. A linear time algorithm for computing the shortest path in a general simple polygon requires triangulating a given polygon as preprocessing. The linear time triangulating is known to very complex to understand and implement it. It is also inefficient in case that the input without very large size is given because its time complexity has a big constant factor. Two points of a polygon P are said to be L-visible from each other if they can be joined by a simple chain of at most two rectilinear line segments contained in P completely. An L-visible polygon P is a polygon such that there is a point from which every point of P is L-visible. We present the customized optimal shortest path algorithm for an L-visible polygon. Our algorithm doesn't require triangulating as preprocessing and consists of simple procedures such as construction of convex hulls and operations for convex polygons, so it is easy to implement and runs very fast in linear time.

This paper presents a global path planning algorithm based on a visibility graph method, and applies additionally various constraints for constructing the reduced visibility graph. The modification algorithm for generating the rounded path is applied to the globally shortest path of the visibility graph using the robot size constraint in order to avoid the obstacle. In order to check the visibility in given 3D map data, 3D CAD data with VRML format is projected to the 2D plane of the mobile robot, and the projected map is converted into an image for easy map analysis. The image processing are applied to this grid map for extracting the obstacles and the free space. Generally, the tree size of visibility graph is proportional to the factorial of the number of the corner points. In order to reduce the tree size and search the shortest path efficiently, the various constraints are proposed. After short paths that crosses the corner points of obstacles lists up, the shortest path among these paths is selected and it is modified to the combination of the line path and the arc path for the mobile robot to avoid the obstacles and follow the rounded path in the environment. The proposed path planning algorithm is applied to the mobile robot LCAR-III.

Recently neural networks leave been proposed as new computational tools for solving constrained optimization problems because of its computational power. In this paper, the shortest path finding algorithm is proposed by rising a Hopfield type neural network. In order to design a Hopfield type neural network, an energy function must be defined at first. To obtain this energy function, the concept of a vector-represented network is introduced to describe the connected path. Through computer simulations, it will be shown that the proposed algorithm works very well in many cases. The local minima problem of a Hopfield type neural network is discussed.

Shortest path tree(SPT) construction is essential in high performance routing in an interior network using link state protocols. When some links have new state values, SPTs may be rebuilt, but the total rebuilding of the SPT in a static way for a large computer network is not only computationally expensive, unnecessary modifications can cause routing table instability. This paper presents a new update algorithm, dynamic shortest path tree(DSPT) that is computationally economical and that maintains the unmodified nodes mostly from an old SPT to a new SPT. The proposed algorithm reduces redundancy using a dynamic update approach where an edge becomes the significant edge when it is extracted from a built edge list Q. The average number of significant edges are identified through probability analysis based on an arbitrary tree structure. An update derived from significant edges is more efficient because the DSPT algorithm neglect most other redundant edges that do not participate in the construction of a new SPT. Our complexity analysis and experimental results show that DSPT is faster than other known methods. It can also be extended to solve the SPT updating problem in a graph with negative weight edges.

In this paper, we consider the shortest path network problem with fixed charges. A turn penalty algorithm for the shortest path problem with fixed charges or turn penalties is presented, which is using the next node comparison method. The algorithm described here is designed to determine the shortest route in the shortest path network problem including turn penalties. Additionally, the way to simplify the computation for the shortest path problem with turn penalties was pursued.

The shortest-path searching algorithm must not only find a global solution to the destination, but also solve a turn penalty problem (TPP) in an urban road transportation network (URTN). Although the Dijkstra algorithm (DA) as a representative node-based algorithm secures a global solution to the shortest path search (SPS) in the URTN by visiting all the possible paths to the destination, the DA does not solve the TPP and the slow execution speed problem (SEP) because it must search for the temporary minimum cost node. Potts and Oliver solved the TPP by modifying the visiting unit from a node to the link type of a tree-building algorithm like the DA. The Multi Tree Building Algorithm (MTBA), classified as a representative Link Based Algorithm (LBA), does not extricate the SEP because the MTBA must search many of the origin and destination links as well as the candidate links in order to find the SPS. In this paper, we propose a new Link-Based Single Tree Building Algorithm in order to reduce the SEP of the MTBA by applying the breaking rule to the LBA and also prove its usefulness by comparing the proposed with other algorithms such as the node-based DA and the link-based MTBA for the error rates and execution speeds.

The purpose of this study is to present a method for determining the k most vital arcs in shortest path problem using an evolutionary algorithm. The problem of finding the k most vital arcs in shortest path problem is to find a set of k arcs whose simultaneous removal from the network causes the greatest increase in the total length of shortest path. The problem determining the k most vital arcs in shortest path problem has known as NP-hard. Therefore, in order to deal with the problem of real world the heuristic algorithm is needed. In this study we propose to the method of finding the k-MVA in shortest path problem using an evolutionary algorithm which known as the most efficient algorithm among heuristics. For this, the expression method of individuals compatible with the characteristics of shortest path problem, the parameter values of constitution gene, size of the initial population, crossover rate and mutation rate etc. are specified and then the effective genetic algorithm will be proposed. The method presented in this study is developed using the library of the evolutionary algorithm framework (EAF) and then the performance of algorithm is analyzed through the computer experiment.
