This paper presents a neural network-based near-optimal routing algorithm. It employs a modified Hopfield Neural Network (MHNN) as a means to solve the shortest path problem. It uses every piece of information that is available at the peripheral neurons in addition to the highly correlated information that is available at the local neuron. Consequently, every neuron converges speedily and optimally to a stable state. The convergence is faster than what is usually found in algorithms that employ conventional Hopfield neural networks. Computer simulations support the indicated claims. The results are relatively independent of network topology for almost all source-destination pairs, which nay be useful for implementing the routing algorithms appropriate to multi -hop packet radio networks with time-varying network topology.

In this paper, related on the postal business with the GIS(Geographics Information System), it discusses design and implementation of the PROS(Postal Route Optimization System) model and its main module, the shortest path generation algorithm, for supporting to postal route managements. It explains examples requirements of postal route system, and suggests the efficient PROS model using our developed shortest path generation algorithm. Because the shortest path algorithm adopts not only consider the Dijkstra algorithm of graph theory, but also the method with the direction property, PROS can be implemented with fast and efficient route search. PROS is mainly constituted of the Shortest Generator, the Isochronal Area Generator, and the Path Rearrangement Generator. It also exploits the GIS engine and the spatial DBMS (Data Base Management System) for processing coordinates in the map and geographical features. PROS can be used in the management of postal delivery business and delivery area and route, and in the rearrangement of route. In the near future, it can be also applied to commercial delivery businesses, guides of routs and traffic informations, and auto navigation system with GPS(Global Positioning System).

This paper presents a near-minimum time path planning algorithm for autonomous driving. The problem of near-minimum time path planning is an optimization problem in which it is necessary to take into account not only the geometry of the circuit but also the dynamics of the vehicle. The path planning algorithm consists of a candidate path generation and a velocity optimization algorithm. The candidate path generation algorithm calculates the compromises between the shortest path and the path that allows the highest speeds to be achieved. The velocity optimization algorithm calculates the lap time of each candidate considering the vehicle driving performance and tire friction limit. By using the calculated path and velocity of each candidate, we calculate the lap times and search for a near-minimum time path. The proposed algorithm was evaluated via computer simulation using CarSim and Matlab/Simulink.

본 논문은 미지의 공간 그래프에 대한 실시간 최단 경로 탐색 알고리즘인 $RTA{\ast}$ 알고리즘과 $PHA{\ast}$ 알고리즘을 소개하고, 예제 그래프를 통해 이들의 특성을 설명한다. 또 3차원 온라인 게임 환경인 언리얼 토너먼트(Unreal Tournament) 게임과 Gamebots 시스템을 이용하여 두 알고리즘 간의 탐색 최적성과 효율성을 비교하였다. 이 실험을 통하여 $PHA{\ast}$ 알고리즘은 언제나 최선의 경로를 탐색하지만 이동경로가 많고, 시간이 많이 걸릴 수 있으며, $RTA{\ast}$는 최적의 경로 혹은 차선 경로를 빠른 시간 내에 탐색함을 확인 하였다. 따라서 이러한 특성을 바탕으로 주어진 탐색 환경의 조건에 따라 두 알고리즘을 선택적으로 적용함으로써 보다 높은 효과를 얻을 수 것으로 기대한다.

I intend to seek the shortest path which an aircraft safely flies to its destination through the shadow volume of three dimensional terrain which propagation does not extend. Herein, I propose a method in which a relatively wide shadow volume is divided with a polygon type of block polygon, a path up to the intermediate destination is sought in the divided block polygons according to the weight, and then, the shortest path up to the final destination is sought by repeating courses for seeking a destination again from the adjacent polygon based on the starting point of the intermediate destination within the divided polygon. The shortest path was searched by using the revised algorithms which apply to a critical angle from graph growth algorithms on the shadow volume which propagation on the actual three dimensional terrain does not extend to. The experiment shows that a method proposed in this paper creates effective flying curves.

Recently, the necessity of the autonomous mobile robot is emphasized in order to enlarge the scope of activity and actively cope with the change of work environment. This paper proposes the algorithm which enables the mobile robot to avoid obstacles and lead it to the destination by the shortest path. And we verify the usability by a simulation. We made the algorithm with micro-GA and $\lambda$-geometry MRA. The area of simulation is limited to 320(width)$\times$200(length) pixels and one pixel is one centimeter. When we planned the path with only $\lambda$-geometry MRA, we could find the direction for path planning but could not find the shortest path. But when we planned the path with $\lambda$-geometry MRA and micro-GA, we could find the shortest path. So the algorithm enables us to find the direction for path planning and the shortest path.

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 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. In this paper, we present the customized shortest path algorithm for a segment-visible polygon which is a simple polygon weakly visible from an internal line segment. Our algorithm doesn't require triangulating as preprocessing and consists of simple procedures such as construction of convex hulls, so it is easy to implement and runs very fast in linear time.

본 논문에서는 L$_1$평면상에 도로망이 주어져 있어서 여행자들이 그 도로들을 이용하여 더욱 빠르게 이동할 수 있는 가정 하에서 가장 기초적인 기하문제 중에 하나인 두 점 사이의 최단 경로를 찾는 문제를 다룬다. 이 때, 두 점 사이의 거리는 L$_1$ 거리가 아닌 주어진 도로들을 이용하여 두 점 사이를 이동할 때 필요한 최소시간으로 측정한다. 단순한 평면상에서의 최단경로와는 달리 도로망이 설치되어 있는 경우는 그것을 해결하기가 일반적으로 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 도로망이 있는 평면에 대한 깊은 관찰과 이해를 통해 도로망이 설치되어 있는 L$_1$ 평면상에서의 최단경로 문제를 해결하는 효율적인 알고리즘을 제시한다. 덧붙여, 본 논문에서 제시하는 문제 해결 방법은 L$_1$ 평면뿐만 아니라 유클리드 평면에도 어렵지 않게 적용할 수 있으며 보로노이 다이어그램으로의 일반화도 간단하다.

Motivated by continuous increase in flight demand, awareness of the importance in developing ways to increase aircraft operational efficiency on the airport movement area has been raised. This paper proposes a new routing algorithm for providing the shortest path in a right time, enhancing the aircraft movement efficiency. Many researches on developing algorithms have been performed, for example, Dijkstra algorithm and $A^*$ algorithm. The Dijkstra algorithm provide optimal solution but could possibly provide it with a cost of relatively longer computation time. On the other hand, $A^*$ algorithm does not guarantee the optimality of a solution. In this paper, we suggest a Hybrid $A^*$ algorithm, incorporating both algorithms to eliminate the weaknesses. Rigorous test shows the proposed Hybrid $A^*$ algorithm may achieve shorter computing time and optimality in searching the shortest path.

Existing shortest-path algorithms mainly consider a single attribute. But traveler actually chooses a route considering not single attribute but various attributes which are synthesized travel time, route length, personal preference, etc. Therefore, to search the optimal path, these attributes are considered synthetically. In this study route searching algorithm which selects the maximum utility route using discrete choice model has developed in order to consider various attributes. Six elements which affect route choice are chosen for the route choice model and parameters of the models are estimated using survey data. A multinomial logit models are developed to design the function of route choice model. As a result, the model which has route length, delay time, the number of turning as parameter is selected based on the significance test. We use existing shortest path algorithm, which can reflect urban transportation network such as u-turn or p-turn, and apply it to the real network.
