Robust Routing in Urban Public Transportation: Evaluating Strategies that Learn From the Past

Authors: Katerina Böhmová, Matúš Mihalák, Peggy Neubert, Tobias Pröger, and Peter Widmayer

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 48, 15th Workshop on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS 2015)


Abstract
Given an urban public transportation network and historic delay information, we consider the problem of computing reliable journeys. We propose new algorithms based on our recently presented solution concept (Böhmová et al., ATMOS 2013), and perform an experimental evaluation using real-world delay data from Zürich, Switzerland. We compare these methods to natural approaches as well as to our recently proposed method which can also be used to measure typicality of past observations. Moreover, we demonstrate how this measure relates to the predictive quality of the individual methods. In particular, if the past observations are typical, then the learning- based methods are able to produce solutions that perform well on typical days, even in the presence of large delays.

Robust Routing in Urban Public Transportation: How to Find Reliable Journeys Based on Past Observations

Authors: Katerina Böhmová, Matús Mihalák, Tobias Pröger, Rastislav Srámek, and Peter Widmayer

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 33, 13th Workshop on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems (2013)


Abstract
We study the problem of robust routing in urban public transportation networks. In order to propose solutions that are robust for typical delays, we assume that we have past observations of real traffic situations available. In particular, we assume that we have "daily records" containing the observed travel times in the whole network for a few past days. We introduce a new concept to express a solution that is feasible in any record of a given public transportation network. We adapt the method of Buhmann et al. [Buhmann et al., ITCS 2013] for optimization under uncertainty, and develop algorithms that allow its application for finding a robust journey from a given source to a given destination. The performance of the algorithms and the quality of the predicted journey are evaluated in a preliminary experimental study. We furthermore introduce a measure of reliability of a given journey, and develop algorithms for its computation. The robust routing concepts presented in this work are suited specially for public transportation networks of large cities that lack clear hierarchical structure and contain services that run with high frequencies.

Telling convex from reflex allows to map a polygon

Authors: Jeremie Chalopin, Shantanu Das, Yann Disser, Matus Mihalak, and Peter Widmayer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 9, 28th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2011)


Abstract
We consider the exploration of a simple polygon P by a robot that moves from vertex to vertex along edges of the visibility graph of P. The visibility graph has a vertex for every vertex of P and an edge between two vertices if they see each other, i.e.~if the line segment connecting them lies inside $P$ entirely. While located at a vertex, the robot is capable of ordering the vertices it sees in counter-clockwise order as they appear on the boundary, and for every two such vertices, it can distinguish whether the angle between them is convex (<= pi) or reflex (> pi). Other than that, distant vertices are indistinguishable to the robot. We assume that an upper bound on the number of vertices is known and show that the robot is always capable of reconstructing the visibility graph of P. We also show that multiple identical, indistinguishable and deterministic such robots can always position themselves such that they mutually see each other, i.e. such that they form a clique in the visibility graph.

Vertex Disjoint Paths for Dispatching in Railways

Authors: Holger Flier, Matús Mihalák, Anita Schöbel, Peter Widmayer, and Anna Zych

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 14, 10th Workshop on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS'10) (2010)


Abstract
We study variants of the vertex disjoint paths problem in planar graphs where paths have to be selected from a given set of paths. We study the problem as a decision, maximization, and routing-in-rounds problem. Although all considered variants are NP-hard in planar graphs, restrictions on the location of the terminals, motivated by railway applications, lead to polynomially solvable cases for the decision and maximization versions of the problem, and to a $p$-approximation algorithm for the routing-in-rounds problem, where $p$ is the maximum number of alternative paths for a terminal pair.

Abstract
The 8th ATMOS workshop was held in Karlsruhe, September 18, 2008, within ALGO, a set of meetings related to algorithms. The series of ATMOS workshops, starting in Heraklion in 2001, continuing in Malaga in 2002, Budapest in 2003, Bergen in 2004, Palma de Mallorca in 2005, Zurich in 2006, and Sevilla in 2007 is by now an established series of meetings between algorithms researchers dealing with transportation problems, and practitioners, mainly from railways.
