Robustness Generalizations of the Shortest Feasible Path Problem for Electric Vehicles

Authors: Payas Rajan, Moritz Baum, Michael Wegner, Tobias Zündorf, Christian J. West, Dennis Schieferdecker, and Daniel Delling

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 96, 21st Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS 2021)

Abstract
Electric Vehicle routing is often modeled as a Shortest Feasible Path Problem (SFPP), which minimizes total travel time while maintaining a non-zero State of Charge (SoC) along the route. However, the problem assumes perfect information about energy consumption and charging stations, which are difficult to even estimate in practice. Further, drivers might have varying risk tolerances for different trips. To overcome these limitations, we propose two generalizations to the SFPP; they compute the shortest feasible path for any initial SoC and, respectively, for every possible minimum SoC threshold. We present algorithmic solutions for each problem, and provide two constructs: Starting Charge Maps and Buffer Maps, which represent the tradeoffs between robustness of feasible routes and their travel times. The two constructs are useful in many ways, including presenting alternate routes or providing charging prompts to users. We evaluate the performance of our algorithms on realistic input instances.

Fast and Stable Repartitioning of Road Networks

Authors: Valentin Buchhold, Daniel Delling, Dennis Schieferdecker, and Michael Wegner

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 160, 18th International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2020)

Abstract
We study the problem of graph partitioning for evolving road networks. While the road network of the world is mostly stable, small updates happen on a relatively frequent basis, as can been observed with the OpenStreetMap project (http://www.openstreetmap.org). For various reasons, professional applications demand the graph partition to stay roughly the same over time, and that changes are limited to areas where graph updates occur. In this work, we define the problem, present algorithms to satisfy the stability needs, and evaluate our techniques on continental-sized road networks. Besides the stability gains, we show that, when the changes are low and local, running our novel techniques is an order of magnitude faster than running graph partitioning from scratch.

Maxent-Stress Optimization of 3D Biomolecular Models

Authors: Michael Wegner, Oskar Taubert, Alexander Schug, and Henning Meyerhenke

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 87, 25th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2017)

Abstract
Knowing a biomolecule's structure is inherently linked to and a prerequisite for any detailed understanding of its function. Significant effort has gone into developing technologies for structural characterization. These technologies do not directly provide 3D structures; instead they typically yield noisy and erroneous distance information between specific entities such as atoms or residues, which have to be translated into consistent 3D models. Here we present an approach for this translation process based on maxent-stress optimization. Our new approach extends the original graph drawing method for the new application's specifics by introducing additional constraints and confidence values as well as algorithmic components. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach infers structural models (i.e., sensible 3D coordinates for the molecule's atoms) that correspond well to the distance information, can handle noisy and error-prone data, and is considerably faster than established tools. Our results promise to allow domain scientists nearly-interactive structural modeling based on distance constraints.
