A* algorithm is widely used in optimal car route search which is a kind of informed search, since the locations of starting and ending points are known a priori. Unidirectional A* algorithm requires considerable search time but guarantees a optimal path, bidirectional A* algorithm does not guarantee a optimal path and takes even longer search time than unidirectional search to guarantee a optimal path. In this paper, a new bidirectional A* algorithm which requites less search time and guarantees a optimal path is proposed. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, several experiments are conducted in real road map and the results show that the algorithm is very effective in terms of finding a optimal path and search time.

홉필드 네트웍은 패턴 매칭과 더불어 최적화 문제를 푸는 도구로 사용될 수 있다. Ali에 의해 제안된 최적 경로 탐색 알고리즘을 개선하여 계산량을 대폭 줄이고 효과적으로 최적 경로를 탐색할 수 있다. 노드의 제곱인 브랜치수의 뉴런이 필요한 Ali 알고리즘은 탐색 네트워크가 커지면 많은 시간이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문은 계산량은 줄이면서 효과적으로 최적 경로를 탐색하는 방법을 제안한다.

Car navigation system which is killer application fuses map management techniques into CPS techniques. Even if the existing navigation systems are designed for the shortest path, they are not able to cope efficiently with the change of the traffic flow and the bottleneck point of road. Therefore, it is necessary to find out shortest path algorithm based on time instead of distance which takes traffic information into consideration. In this paper, we propose a optimal path search algorithm based on the traffic information. More precisely. we introduce the system architecture for finding out optimal paths, and the limitations of the existing shortest path search algorithm are also analyzed. And then, we propose a new algorithm for finding out optimal path to make good use of the orientation of the collected traffic information.

To find optimal path is killer application in the telematics system. The shortest path of conventional system, however, isn't always optimal path. That is, the path with minimum travelling time could be defined as optimal path in the road networks. There are techniques and algorithms for finding optimal path. Hierarchical path algorithm categorizes road networks into major layer and minor layer so that the performance of operational time increases. The path searched is accurate as much as optimal path. At above 2 system, a method to allocate minor roads to major road region influences the performance extremely. This paper proposes methods to determine search space for selecting major roads in the hierarchical path algorithm. In addition, methods which apply the proposed methods to hierarchical route algorithm is presented.

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.

Optimal path search algorithm should consider traffic flows of the roads as well as the distance between a departure and destination, The existing path search algorithms, however, usually don't apply the continuously changed 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 networks into Fixed Grid to get variable heuristics. We also carry out the experiments with Dijkstra and $A^*$ 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.

Total travel cost of route which connects origin with destination (O-D) is consist of the total sum of link travel cost and route perception cost. If the link perception cost is different according to the origin and destination, optimal route search has limitation to reflect the actual condition by route enumeration problem. The purpose of this study is to propose optimal route searching formulation and algorithm which is enable to reflect different link perception cost by each route, not only avoid the enumeration problem between origin and destination. This method defines minimum unit of route as a link and finally compares routes using link unit costs. The proposed method considers the perception travel cost at both origin and destination in optimal route searching process, while conventional models refect the perception cost only at origin. However this two-way searching algorithm is still not able to guarantee optimum solution. To overcome this problem, this study proposed an orign based optimal route searching method which was developed based on destination based optimal perception route tree. This study investigates whether proposed numerical formulas and algorithms are able to reflect route perception behavior reflected the feature of origin and destination in a real traffic network by the example research including the diversity of route information for the surrounding area and the perception cost for the road hierarchy.

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.

본 논문에서는 출발지부터 목적지까지 가는 도중에 슈퍼, 주유소, 식당 등과 같은 특정 장소를 경유하면서 거리와 서비스 같은 다중 속성을 고려한 최적경로를 탐색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 최적경로는 기존 연구와 다르게 거리와 같은 단일 속성만 고려하지 않고, 사용자가 지정하는 가중치를 적용하여 다중 속성을 고려해서 사용자 원하는 경유객체들을 하나씩 포함한다. 기존 알고리즘들은 다중 속성과 사용자의 선호도를 고려한 최적경로를 탐색하는 경우에는 적합하지 않다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 필터링 기법을 이용하여 경유객체를 될 수 없는 객체들을 제거하고 최적경로를 탐색하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 우수성을 확인하기 위해 다양한 성능평가를 수행한다.

본 논문에서는 네비게이션 시스템 사용 시 교통 체증 등의 상황이 발생하여 최적 경로를 따라 가는 경우의 소요시간이 실제 예상시간보다 크게 증가하게 되는 경우 주변의 샛길을 이용하여 보다 빠른 시간에 체증 구간을 회피하여 목적지에 도착 할 수 있게 하는 알고리즘을 제안하고 이를 항법서버에 구현한다. 교통 체증상황이 발생하는 경우 경로 탐색시의 각 길에 대한 weighting 을 조절함으로써 원래 최적경로와 다른 우회로를 찾아 낼 수 있도록 한다. 상용화 되어있는 네비게이션 단말기를 사용하였으며 PC 시뮬레이터와 개발 서버를 이용하여 샛길 탐색 기능을 구현하였다. 최적경로 탐색에는 A* 알고리즘을 응용하였으며 최적경로에서 샛길 탐색구간을 구하여 전체 경로를 탐색하는 알고리즘을 구현하였다.
