Sequenced route queries: getting things done on the way back home

Published: 06 November 2012 Publication History

Abstract

When heading back home from work there are often things to do on the way like grocery shopping, getting cash from an ATM, refueling at a gas station, or dropping off a parcel at a post-office. We consider the problem of planning an optimal route (quickest or shortest) that visits facilities of the respective type on the way home. The proposed solution based on the combination of a distance sensitive doubling technique and contraction hierarchies is orders of magnitudes faster than either a naive approach or previous results and produces the answers in an instant for realistic queries without compromising guaranteed optimality. With such fast query times, this type of route query becomes feasible even on mobile devices or for high-throughput web-based route planners.
