Abstract

We consider the problem of formally finding the complexity parameters of the environment for a moving object operating on a plane in the presence of obstacles. We give a mathematical justification for the method of calculating the complexity, introduce the concepts of local and integral complexities of the environment, give analytic formulas for calculating the complexity, and show simulation results.
