  • Abstract
    A heuristic approach is presented which, combined with the use of data structures, reduces storage requirements to store full optimal paths on transportation networks. The goal is to allow the use of full road networks on the implementation of simulations for the operation of a fleet of vehicles. The approach is based on the representation of routing information as a routing matrix, where we exploit structural properties of routing information to reduce storage requirements.
