Abstract

We consider the problem of finding the closest point of interest in road networks where the travel time along each edge is a function of the departure time and the service time of the facilities are taken into consideration. More specifically, our query aims to find the point of interest (e.g., a museum) in which the user can be served in the minimum amount of time, accounting for both the travel time to the point of interest and the waiting time, if it is closed. We discuss our proposed solution and present experimental results comparing the quality of the response returned by our proposed algorithm to an approach where possible waiting times are not considered.
