Abstract

This paper tackles with the single-source, shortest-path problem in the challenging context of navigation through real-world, natural environment like a ski area, where traditional on-site sign posts could be limited or not available. For this purpose, we propose a novel approach for planning the shortest path in a directed, acyclical graph (DAG) built on geo-location data mapped from available web databases through Google Map and/or Google Earth. Our new path-planning algorithm we called OPEN is run against this resulting graph and provides the optimal path in a computationally efficient way. Our approach was demonstrated on real-world cases, and it outperforms state-of-art, path-planning algorithms.
