ABSTRACT
When users consult a trip planner, map or navigation system for directions, they are presented with several route options which often are evaluated based on shortest path or shortest duration. However, in some cases, users may require the choices of route to be evaluated on other criteria, such as safest route, particularly if users are new visitors to the city. With recent introductions of different platforms to crowdsource public experience and perceptions of safety, this data can be used to calculate safe route selection. However, such user generated contents are often inconsistent, sparse, or may not have a complete spatial coverage. This paper proposes Vector-based Diffusion and Interpolation Matrix (VDIM), a novel method to diffuse and interpolate information on spatial grid cells to calculate safety ratings of regions, which could be used to calculate the route safety.

Recommendations
Preview of recommended routes in large-scale virtual environments
VRCIA '06: Proceedings of the 2006 ACM international conference on Virtual reality continuum and its applicationsIn large-scale virtual environments (VEs), there is often more than one possible route to a destination, and each of the VE users may have their own route preferences. In this paper, we introduce a route preview tool to help users select a desirable ...
Improved A* Algorithm Based Path Planning for Mobile Robots
ICITEE '22: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Information Technologies and Electrical EngineeringAn improved obstacle expansion algorithm is proposed to address the problem of too many traversing nodes and the lack of safety and smoothness of the solved paths in the traditional algorithm path planning process. A new map is generated by expanding ...
A study of rerouting beyond ad hoc decision making
IWCTS '21: Proceedings of the 14th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Computational Transportation ScienceRerouting is needed for a number of reasons such as overcoming a road incident, recovering from a navigation error, or avoiding a difficult turn. When obtaining a reroute, there is generally no choice but to take an inconvenient reroute - e.g., an ...
