abstract

in this paper, shortest path design problem (spdp) in which the path is incident to all cells is considered. the bi-directional path is one of the known types of configuration of networks for automated guided vehi-cles (agv).to solve this problem, two algorithms are developed. for each algorithm an integer linear pro-gramming (ilp) is determined. the objective functions of both algorithms are to find the shortest path. the path must be connected and incident to all cells at least in one edge or node. a simple branch-and-cut ap-proach is used to solve the ilp models. computational results show that the models easily can solve the prob-lem with less than 45 cells using a commercial ilp solver.

ALGORITHMS FOR BIOBJECTIVE SHORTEST PATH PROBLEMS IN FUZZY NETWORKS

We consider biobjective shortest path problems in networks with fuzzy arc lengths. Considering the available studies for single objective shortest path problems in fuzzy networks, using a distance function for comparison of fuzzy numbers, we propose three approaches for solving the biobjective prob- lems. The rst and second approaches are extensions of the labeling method to solve the sing...

Conflict-free AGV Routing in a Bi-directional Path Layout

AGV systems are now becoming widely used in automatic material handling systems. One of the issues arising in applications is routing. This paper presents a bi-directional path layout and an algorithm for routing AGVs without conflicts. Mathematical relationships among certain key parameters of path and vehicle are derived to minimize the space requirements of the layout. The routing efficiency...

Two-phase Algorithms for the Parametric Shortest Path Problem

A parametric weighted graph is a graph whose edges are labeled with continuous real functions of a single common variable. For any instantiation of the variable, one obtains a standard edgeweighted graph. Parametric weighted graph problems are generalizations of weighted graph problems, and arise in various natural scenarios. Parametric weighted graph algorithms consist of two phases. A preproc...

Memory-Constrained Algorithms for Shortest Path Problem

We present an algorithm computing a shortest path between to vertices in a square grid graph with edge weights that uses memory less than linear in the number of vertices (apart from that for storing in the input). For any ε > 0, our algorithm uses a work space of O(n) words and runs in O(n) time.

CNS using restricted space algorithms for finding a shortest path

These days, due to the heavy traffic, it is very difficult for drivers in big cities to find an easy and efficient route to a selected destination. Thus, route guidance has become a very important problem for drivers. As a result, car navigation systems are commonly installed in new vehicles. These systems are capable of performing some of the tasks traditionally performed by driver, such as re...
