Abstract

Car navigation equipment in practical use has treated a route planning problem as a single-objective problem. In this paper, we formulate the problem as a dynamic multi-objective problem and show how it can be solved using a GA. There are three objective functions to optimize simultaneously in this problem: route length, travel time that changes rapidly with time, and ease of driving. The proposed method gives the Pareto-optimal set by using both the predicted traffic and a hybrid multi-objective GA (GA + Dijkstra algorithm) so that a driver can choose a favorite route after looking at feasible ones. We give the results of experiments comparing the proposed method with the Dijkstra algorithm and the single-objective GA in applications with a real road map and real traffic data in wide-area road network.
