We consider the problem of computing the time-convex hull of a point set under the general $L_p$ metric in the presence of a straight-line highway in the plane. The traveling speed along the highway is assumed to be faster than that off the…
A highway H is a line in the plane on which one can travel at a greater speed than in the remaining plane. One can choose to enter and exit H at any point. The highway time distance between a pair of points is the minimum time required to…
We consider the time-convex hull problem in the presence of two orthogonal highways H. In this problem, the travelling speed on the highway is faster than off the highway, and the time-convex hull of a point set P is the closure of P with…
This paper considers the problem of finding a quickest path between two points in the Euclidean plane in the presence of a transportation network. A transportation network consists of a planar network where each road (edge) has an…
Increasing popularity of mobile route planning applications based on GPS technology provides opportunities for collecting traffic data in urban environments. One of the main challenges for travel time estimation and prediction in such a…
We study a variation of the 1-center problem in which, in addition to a single supply facility, we are allowed to locate a highway. This highway increases the transportation speed between any demand point and the facility. That is, given a…
We study a simple geometric model of transportation facility that consists of two points between which the travel speed is high. This elementary definition can model shuttle services, tunnels, bridges, teleportation devices, escalators or…
Optimal transportation distances are a fundamental family of parameterized distances for histograms. Despite their appealing theoretical properties, excellent performance in retrieval tasks and intuitive formulation, their computation…
Fastest-path queries between two points in a very large road map is an increasingly important primitive in modern transportation and navigation systems, thus very efficient computation of these paths is critical for system performance and…
Inspired by the question of whether one can create a visually informative map in which distances reflect travel-times rather than physical proximity, we examine whether it is possible to construct a meaningful travel time function between…
We seek for lines of minimal distance to finitely many points in the plane. The distance between a line and a set of points is defined by the L^p-norm, 1\leq p\leq \infty, of the vector of vertical or orthogonal distances from the single…
We address the problem of optimal path planning for a simple nonholonomic vehicle in the presence of obstacles. Most current approaches are either split hierarchically into global path planning and local collision avoidance, or neglect some…
We consider the problem of computing the \emph{distance-based representative skyline} in the plane, a problem introduced by Tao, Ding, Lin and Pei [Proc. 25th IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE), 2009] and independently…
In this work, we propose a method to efficiently compute smooth, time-optimal trajectories for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) evading a moving obstacle. Our approach first computes an n-dimensional trajectory from the start- to an arbitrary…
This paper addresses the problem of finding multiple near-optimal, spatially-dissimilar paths that can be considered as alternatives in the decision making process, for finding optimal corridors in which to construct a new road. We further…
This paper presents a framework for fast and robust motion planning designed to facilitate automated driving. The framework allows for real-time computation even for horizons of several hundred meters and thus enabling automated driving in…
Given a set of pairwise disjoint polygonal obstacles in the plane, finding an obstacle-avoiding Euclidean shortest path between two points is a classical problem in computational geometry and has been studied extensively. The previous best…
In this paper we consider a set of travelers, starting from likely different locations towards a common destination within a road network, and propose solutions to find the optimal connecting points for them. A connecting point is a vertex…
Realistic metric spaces (such as road/transportation networks) tend to be much more algorithmically tractable than general metrics. In an attempt to formalize this intuition, Abraham et~al.\ (SODA 2010, JACM 2016) introduced the notion of…
Minimum-time speed profiles are constructed for planar paths with smooth strictly-monotonic signed curvature, subject to constraints on velocity, normal acceleration and tangential acceleration. The construction is explicit and exact, and…
