Customizable Contraction Hierarchies with Turn Costs

Authors: Valentin Buchhold, Dorothea Wagner, Tim Zeitz, and Michael Zündorf

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 85, 20th Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS 2020)


Abstract
We incorporate turn restrictions and turn costs into the route planning algorithm customizable contraction hierarchies (CCH). There are two common ways to represent turn costs and restrictions. The edge-based model expands the network so that road segments become vertices and allowed turns become edges. The compact model keeps intersections as vertices, but associates a turn table with each vertex. Although CCH can be used as is on the edge-based model, the performance of preprocessing and customization is severely affected. While the expanded network is only three times larger, both preprocessing and customization time increase by up to an order of magnitude. In this work, we carefully engineer CCH to exploit different properties of the expanded graph. We reduce the increase in customization time from up to an order of magnitude to a factor of about 3. The increase in preprocessing time is reduced even further. Moreover, we present a CCH variant that works on the compact model, and show that it performs worse than the variant on the edge-based model. Surprisingly, the variant on the edge-based model even uses less space than the one on the compact model, although the compact model was developed to keep the space requirement low.

Efficient Traffic Assignment for Public Transit Networks

Authors: Lars Briem, Sebastian Buck, Holger Ebhart, Nicolai Mallig, Ben Strasser, Peter Vortisch, Dorothea Wagner, and Tobias Zündorf

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 75, 16th International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2017)


Abstract
We study the problem of computing traffic assignments for public transit networks: Given a public transit network and a demand (i.e. a list of passengers, each with associated origin, destination, and departure time), the objective is to compute the utilization of every vehicle. Efficient assignment algorithms are a core component of many urban traffic planning tools. In this work, we present a novel algorithm for computing public transit assignments. Our approach is based upon a microscopic Monte Carlo simulation of individual passengers. In order to model realistic passenger behavior, we base all routing decisions on travel time, number of transfers, time spent walking or waiting, and delay robustness. We show how several passengers can be processed during a single scan of the network, based on the Connection Scan Algorithm [Dibbelt et al., LNCS Springer 2013], resulting in a highly efficient algorithm. We conclude with an experimental study, showing that our assignments are comparable in terms of quality to the state-of-the-art. Using the parallelized version of our algorithm, we are able to compute a traffic assignment for more than ten million passengers in well below a minute, which outperforms previous works by more than an order of magnitude.
