Approach to time dependence and reliability in dynamic route guidance

Approach to time dependence and reliability in dynamic route guidance
Approach to time dependence and reliability in dynamic route guidance
This paper presents a methodology for increasing the reliability of route suggestions in route guidance systems. The procedure, based on the A* path-finding algorithm and Chen's link penalty method, involves penalizing links with a high risk of being congested and obtaining a set of reliable route suggestions. Time dependence of travel times is considered by adapting the flow-speed model technique accordingly. The structure of the path-finding algorithms is also modified to account for real road network features. Finally, experiments using simulated travel time and reliability data are carried out on a road network, and the results are discussed.

Abstract

This paper presents a methodology for increasing the reliability of route suggestions in route guidance systems. The procedure, based on the A* path-finding algorithm and Chen's link penalty method, involves penalizing links with a high risk of being congested and obtaining a set of reliable route suggestions. Time dependence of travel times is considered by adapting the flow-speed model technique accordingly. The structure of the path-finding algorithms is also modified to account for real road network features. Finally, experiments using simulated travel time and reliability data are carried out on a road network, and the results are discussed.
