Abstract

An integrated systems approach has been used to formulate a model for the analysis of routes and the routing of vehicles. The essential data to describe the available routes are stored in the form of a network; the directional relationships and the relative location of the routes are established with the aid of a grid. The GASP II simulator has been used to develop the model. The model utilizes the network to optimally route a vehicle from a specified starting point to a given destination; it employs a variety of techniques which includes dynamic programming, branch and bound, and simulation.
