Guiding vehicles to their destination under dynamic traffic conditions is an important topic in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Nowadays, many complex systems can be controlled by using multi agent systems. Adaptation with the current condition is an important feature of the agents. In this research, formulation of dynamic guidance for vehicles has been investigated based...

Route planning is an important problem for a number of diverse applications including intelligent transportation systems, space applications, autonomous robotics, and military guidance and navigation systems [1, 4, 5, 9—11]. We address the routing problem in the context of route planning for aircraft (rotorcraft or fixed-wing, manned or unmanned), though our approach can be easily extended to t...

Animal navigation is guided by multiple sensory cues. Here, we ask whether and how olfactory stimuli emanating from places other than the trained feeding site redirect the flight paths of honeybees. The flight trajectories of individual bees were registered using harmonic radar tracking. Sensory cues (compass direction, distance, visual cues en route and close to the feeding site) associated wi...

Over half of the neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans send axons to the nerve ring, a large neuropil in the head of the animal. Genetic screens in animals that express the green fluorescent protein in a subset of sensory neurons identified eight new sax genes that affect the morphology of nerve ring axons. sax-3/robo mutations disrupt axon guidance in the nerve ring, while sax-5, sax-9 and unc-44 ...

Current navigation systems provide clear guidance for moving from one place to another while taking little explicit account of traditional strategies for route planning. This study observed twelve older people working in pairs planning a route with the aim of extracting the benefits to older people for using their lifelong procedures. Conclusions include that personal requirements for routes ar...

The optimal route between a given origin and destination needs to be computed in a fast and efficient manner in dynamic route guidance systems. Conventional routing algorithms have been found to be inadequate when applied directly to large road networks. Algorithms based on the concept of hierarchical abstraction make use of the knowledge about the road network to reduce search and provide near...

In-car route guidance is automatic, requiring a minimum of time and thinking. This paper explores the use of personalised information when providing instructions for navigating a journey. We focus on older women with a lifetime of experience. Ten female participants were interviewed to elicit their comfort zone with respect to navigating in a car from their own home. Two routes were then devise...

In this paper, we present an enhanced, efficient and reliable travel planner named Modified BUSTRAP (BUS TRavel Planner). Modified BUSTRAP can be used for planning a bus travel in two well-known metro cities of India. Locations of buses are recorded at a few instances on the roads through sensors. The Planner finds their current and future locations based on these records. We have considered ch...

In this paper we present a new algorithm for the approximate solution of the logit-based stochastic user equilibrium problem. The main advantage of this algorithm is that it provides route ows explicitly, of particular interest in the evaluation of route guidance and information systems; in previously proposed methods for the stochastic user equilibrium problem, only link ows are provided. The ...

Users rely increasingly on Location-Based Services (LBS) and automated navigation/guidance systems nowadays. However, while such services are easily implemented in outdoor environments using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, a requirement still exists for accurate localization and guidance schemes in indoor settings. Accordingly, the present study presents a methodology based on GPS, ...
