Purpose: This paper aimed to study the current locations of post offices to analyze service coverage area for parcel delivery in the Eastern Economics Corridor (EEC), which must be considered in the last mile to extend delivery service for e-commerce growth. Thailand Post was the case study in this paper. Research design, data and methodology: To involve solving the delivery service area under the last mile condition, the authors proposed a network analysis to determine service radius by employing a Geographic Information System (GIS). Furthermore, this paper applied Dijkstra's algorithm as a network analysis tool from GIS for analyzing the last mile service coverage area in a new economics zone. At the same time, the authors suggested an approach as a solution to locate last mile delivery center in EEC. Results: The results of the study pointed out that Thailand Post should consider more last mile delivery centers in EEC to support its express service in urban areas as well as improve the efficiency of service coverage for parcel delivery and create more advantages against competitors. Conclusions: This paper proposes a network analysis to extend the last mile service for parcel delivery by following Dijkstra's algorithm from GIS and a solution approach to add more last mile delivery centers. The results of the research will contribute to boosting customer satisfaction for last mile delivery service and enabling easy accessibility to a service center in EEC.

This paper presents a new algorithm for the K shortest paths problem in a network. After a shortest path is produced with Dijkstra algorithm. detouring paths through inward arcs to every vertex of the shortest path are generated. A length of a detouring path is the sum of both the length of the inward arc and the difference between the shortest distance from the origin to the head vertex and that to the tail vertex. K-1 shorter paths are selected among the detouring paths and put into the set of K paths. Then detouring paths through inward arcs to every vertex of the second shortest path are generated. If there is a shorter path than the current Kth path in the set. this path is placed in the set and the Kth path is removed from the set, and the paths in the set is rearranged in the ascending order of lengths. This procedure of generating the detouring paths and rearranging the set is repeated until the $K^{th}-1$ path of the set is obtained. The computational results for networks with about 1,000,000 nodes and 2,700,000 arcs show that this algorithm can be applied to a problem of generating the detouring paths in the metropolitan traffic networks.

A length of a detouring path is the sum of both the length of the inward arc and the difference between the shortest distance from the origin to the head vertex and that to the tail vertex. K-1 shorter paths are selected among the detouring paths and put into the set of K paths. Then detouring paths through inward arcs to every vertex of the second shortest path are generated. If there is a shorter path than the current Kth path in the set, this path is placed in the set and the Kth path is removed from the set, and the paths in the set is rearranged in the ascending order of lengths. This procedure of generating the detouring paths and rearranging the set is repeated for the K-1 st path of the set. This algorithm can be applied to a problem of generating the detouring paths in the navigation system for ITS and also for vehicle routing problems.

This paper presents an application layer multicast tree constructing algorithm to minimize the average time delay from the sender to end-systems for the effective real-time media delivery. Simultaneously, the proposed algorithm takes into account the computing power and the network condition of each end-system as a control variable and thus avoids the undesirable case that loads are concentrated to only several end-systems. The multicast tree is constructed by clustering technique and modified Dijkstra's algorithm in two steps, i.e. tree among proxy-senders and tree in each cluster. By the experimental results, we show that the proposed algorithm can provide an effective solution.

The Distribution System consist of many tie-line switches and sectionalizing switches, operated a radial type. When an outage occurs in Distribution System, outage areas are isolated by system switches, has to restored as soon as possible. At this time, system operator have to get a information about network topology for service restoration of outage areas. Therefore, the searching result of restorative topology has to fast computation time and reliable result topology for to restore a electric service to outage areas, equal to optimal switching operation problem. So, the problem can be defined as combinatorial optimization problem. The service restoration problem is so important problem which have outage area minimization, outage loss minimization. Many researcher is applying to the service restoration problem with various techniques. In this paper, advanced Dijkstra algorithm is applied to searching a restoration topology, is so efficient to searching a shortest path in graph type network. Additionally, fuzzy rules and operator are applied to overcome a fuzziness of correlation with input data. The present technique has superior results which are fast computation time and searching results than previous researches, demonstrated by example distribution model system which has 3 feeders, 26 buses. For a application capability to real distribution system, additionally demonstrated by real distribution system of KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Corporation) which has 8 feeders and 140 buses.

This paper presents a new algorithm for the K shortest paths Problem which develops initial K shortest paths, and repeat to expose hidden shortest paths with dual approach and to replace the longest path in the present K paths. The initial solution comprises K shortest paths among shortest paths to traverse each arc in a Double Shortest Arborescence which is made from bidirectional Dijkstra algorithm. When a crossing node that have two or more inward arcs is found at least three time by turns in this K shortest paths, there may be some hidden paths which are shorter than present k-th path. To expose a hidden shortest path, one inward arc of this crossing node is chose by means of minimum detouring distance calculated with dual variables, and then the hidden shortest path is exposed with joining a detouring subpath from source to this inward arc and a spur of a feasible path from this crossing node to sink. If this exposed path is shorter than the k-th path, the exposed path replaces the k-th path. This algorithm requires worst case time complexity of O(Kn$^2$), and O(n$^2$) in the case k$\leq$3.

In the low altitude, mission of the aircraft is restricted by a variety of threats such as anti-air missiles and terrain obstacles. Especially, aircraft have always a risk of ground collision near terrain. In this study, to effectively solve this problem, we developed the flight path generation algorithm that is considered the terrain avoidance. In this flight path generation algorithm, waypoints that should be passed by the UAV are selected first. The waypoints are located in the middle of the terrain obstacles. Then, physically meaningful waypoints sets are classified by Dijkstra algorithm. The optimal waypoint guidance law based on the optimal control theory is applied to produce trajectory candidates. And finally the minimum control energy trajectory is determined.

게임에서는 장애물이 가로 막고 있을 때 길 찾기 알고리즘이 요구된다. Path Finding Method 는 길과 장애물을 고려하여 목적지까지의 경로를 찾는 방법을 말한다. A^* 알고리즘은 이런 복잡한 미로 찾기에 최적화된 Path Finding 알고리즘이다. 하지만, 모바일 같은 저비용 기기에서 A^* 알고리즘을 사용하기엔 단순한 지형에서도 연산 부하가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 가상의 공간에서 Grid를 구축하여, 통행이 가능한 곳과 불가능한 곳을 나누어 최종 지점에 도달할 수 있도록 하는 방식을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 Path Finding Method 는 최종 지점이 막다른 길인 경우 가장 가까운 이동 가능한 경로로 길을 안내하도록 설계하여 예외 상황에 대처했다. 대표적인 길 찾기 알고리즘인 Dijkstra 알고리즘은 최소 비용을 고려해서 최단으로 가는 거리를 비교하여 길을 나타낼 수 있다. 하지만, Dijkstra 알고리즘 경우 비용이 양수가 아닌 음수의 경우 무한 루프에 빠지는 등 결과 값이 제대로 나오지 않을 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 Path Finding Method 는 최소 비용을 노드별로 비교하는 방식이 아닌 초기 비용을 알 수 없는 분야에 쉽게 사용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 Path Finding Method 를 적용하여 Web 게임을 제작하는 것에 성공하였다. 향후, Path Finding Method 결과에 위치 정렬 알고리즘을 적용하여, 중복된 지역을 가는 확률을 최소화하면서 정리된 Path 가 돌출되도록 연구할 예정이다. 본 논문의 Path Finding Method 은 게임 개발 분야에 적극 기여되길 바란다.

As function and scale of the transit center get larger, the efficient guidance system in the transit center is essential for transit users in order to find their efficient routes. Although there are several studies concerning optimal path for the road, but insufficient studies are executed about optimal path inside the building. Thus, this study is to develop the algorithm about optimal path for car owner from the basement parking lot to user's destination in the transfer station. Based on Dijkstra algorithm which calculate horizontal distance, several factors such as fatigue, freshness, preference, and required time in using moving devices are objectively computed through rank-sum and arithmetic-sum method. Moreover, optimal public transportation is provided for transferrer in the transfer station by Neuro-Fuzzy model which is reflected on people's tendency about public transportation mode choice. Lastly, some scenarios demonstrate the efficiency of optimal path algorithm for pedestrian in this study. As a result of verification the case through the model developed in this study is 75 % more effective in the scenario reflected on different vertical distance, and $24.5\;{\sim}\;107.7\;%$ more effective in the scenario considering different horizontal distance, respectively.
