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.

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.

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.

As interest in green growth picks up, the importance of bicycles which are an environment friendly means of communication has been magnified. However, bicycle routes which are the base of bicycles are designed without considering topographic elements and thus many users are experiencing inconvenience in using bicycles. The present study presents a routing technique to select optimal routes when selecting routes in commuting to school utilizing bicycles. To this end, a formula for optimum route calculation considering slope and intersections was drawn and a method to select optimum routes by applying modified Dijkstra Algorithms was studied. According to the results, the bicycle routes for commuting to school should be selected by the shortest time rather than the shortest distances to the destination, because it required reach the destination faster. Therefore when selecting the routes, it must be based on the shortest time considering waiting time due to crosswalks or crossroads and speed variations due to slopes.

In the process of ship building, it is known that the maintenance of working period and saving cost are one of the important part during the logistics of blocks transportation. Precise operational planning inside the shipyard plays a big role for a smooth transportation of blocks. But many problems arise in the process of block transportation such as the inevitable road damage during the transportation of the blocks, unpredictable stockyard utilization of the road associated with a particular lot number, addition of unplanned blocks. Therefore, operational plan needs to be re-established frequently in real time for an efficient block management. In order to find the shortest path between lot numbers, there are several representative methods such as Floyd algorithm that has the characteristics of many-to-many mapping, Dijkstra algorithm that has the characteristic of one-to-many mapping, and the A* algorithm which has the one-to-one mapping, but many authors have published without the mutual comparisons of these algorithms. In this study, some appropriate comparison have been reviewed about the advantages and disadvantages of these algorithms in terms of precision and cost analysis of calculating the paths and planning system to operate the transporters. The flexible operating plan is proposed to handle a situation such as damaged path, changing process during block transportation. In addition, an operational algorithm of a vacant transporter is proposed to cover the shortest path in a minimum time considering the situation of transporter rotation for practical use.

Optimal path search algorithm which is a killer application of mobile device to utilize location information should consider traffic flows of the roads as well as the distance between a departure and destination. The existing path search algorithms, however, are net able to cope efficiently with the change of the traffic flows. In this paper, we propose a new optimal path search algorithm. The algorithm takes the current flows into consideration in order to reduce the cost to get destination. It decomposes the road network into Fixed Grid to get variable heuristics. We also carry out the experiments with Dijkstra and Ar algorithm in terms of the execution time, the number of node accesses and the accuracy of path. The results obtained from the experimental tests show the proposed algorithm outperforms the others. The algorithm is highly expected to be useful in a advanced telematics systems.

Air Traffic Management(ATM) is to control air traffic flow quickly and safely. For efficient ATM, the ability which calculate optimal route using filight plan and filght information is required. Especially for the time-sensitive air cargo, it is essential. In this paper, therefore, we present a dynamic route search algorithm which calculate optimal route dynamically. The conventional method using Dijkstra algorithm has a problem that recalculate the entire route when some airways are closed. However, the proposed algorithm recalculates only affected waypoints, so it finds optimal route quickly and accurately. Comparisons with the conventional method and the proposed algorithm show that the proposed algorithm provides better.

This study analyzed the optimal routes of auxiliary vehicles in an open-pit mine that need to traverse the entire mine through many working points. Unlike previous studies which usually used the Dijkstra's algorithm, this study utilized a heuristic algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP). Thus, the optimal routes of auxiliary vehicles could be determined by considering the visiting order of multiple working points. A case study at the Pasir open-pit coal mine, Indonesia was conducted to analyze the travel route of an auxiliary vehicle that monitors the working condition by traversing the entire mine without stopping. As a result, we could know that the heuristic TSP algorithm is more efficient than intuitive judgment in determining the optimal travel route; 20 minutes can be shortened when the auxiliary vehicle traverses the entire mine through 25 working points according to the route determined by the heuristic TSP algorithm. It is expected that the results of this study can be utilized as a basis to set the direction of future research for the system optimization of auxiliary vehicles in open-pit mines.

In recent years, many studies are being conducted to reduce the damage to humans in the event of a fire. In case of fire in large cities, evacuation route guidance services are provided using Mobile GIS (geographic information system). However, among the algorithms used in the existing evacuation route system, Dijkstra Algorithm has a problem that when the cost is negative, it cannot obtain an infinite loop or an accurate result value, and does not help to select an appropriate shortest route by searching all routes. For this reason, in this paper, we propose the shortest route guidance system based on A^* Algorithm. In case of fire, the shortest route is searched and the shortest route is visualized and provided using a map service on a mobile device using mobile GIS.
