Abstract

See full text

A time-space network including a set of state nodes and a set of state transition edges each of which connects between the state nodes, is generated. Each of the state nodes represents a state in which a vehicle is present at a certain point node at a certain time. State transition costs increasing according to a difference of time corresponding to before or after transition and arrival time are defined. In the time-space network, by using the Dijkstra algorithm, a minimum cost transition path in which a sum of the state transition costs is minimum among paths from a starting point state node to any of the state nodes indicating that the vehicle is present at an arrival point is obtained. The starting point state node represents a state that the vehicle is present at a departure point at a reference time. The route and the timing of the vehicle are determined based on the minimum cost transition path.
