A Gaussian-Prioritized Approach for Deploying Additional Route on Existing Mass Transportation with Neural-Network-Based Passenger Flow Inference

Abstract

Multi-criteria path planning is an important combinatorial optimization problem with broad real-world applications. Finding the Pareto-optimal set of paths ideal for all requiring features is time-consuming and unclear to obtain the subset of optimal paths efficiently for multiple origin states in the planning space. Meanwhile, due to the rise of deep learning, hybrid systems of computational intelligence thrive in recent years. When facing non-monotonic data or heuristics derived from pretrained neural networks, most of the existing methods for the oneto-all path problem fail to find an ideal solution. We employ Gaussian mixture model to propose a target-prioritized searching algorithm called Multi-Source Bidirectional Gaussian-Prioritized Spanning Tree (BiasSpan) in solving this non-monotonic multicriteria route planning problem given constraints including range, must-visit vertices, and the number of recommended vertices. Experimental results on mass transportation system in Tainan and Chicago cities show that BiasSpan outperforms comparative methods from 7% to 24% and runs in a reasonable time compared to state-of-art route-planning algorithms.
