Abstract

With the development of intelligent mobile devices and communication technology, moving objects have become a hot research topic. This paper studies the moving objects on the road network, and a dynamic shortest path query algorithm is proposed to solve the shortest path calculation between two moving objects on the road network. The algorithm is divided into pre-processing phase and query phase. The pre-processing phase pre-calculates and stores a small part of the shortest path according to the important positions of the road network and the pre-storage coefficient k. Then the pre-processing information is used to query the shortest path during the query process. Experiments are performed by using the road network data (nearly 200,000 segments) of Nanjing, including the setting of the pre-stored coefficient k, the pre-stored path size, and the road network size. The results show that the MOSP algorithm proposed in this paper outperforms baseline approaches by 2–3 orders of magnitude.
