I am student at the MSc in GIS course at University of Leicester, UK, and I
am in the process of narrowing down my topic for my dissertation, which will
most likely be on Intelligent Transport Systems, Vehicle Location and
Navigation, and Route Planning in particular.
There is a lot of routing software available, but what I find is that they
do not take into account the time of day when you are travelling, and that
the traffic changes as you go along, so that the pre-planned route may not
be the best route in the end.
I would like to focus on real time route planners that work with dynamic
networks and how this can be implemented. I know how to model a static
network, but how do you model a network that is constantly changing, and how
do you get the routing algorithm to recognise the changes and recalculate
the route?
If anybody is doing similar research, or knows of any leads or good starting
points, literature or journal articles, please let me know.
Thanks.
