Applications Of Artificial Intelligence In Automated Route Planning

This paper addresses the problem of route planning for ground vehicles. The problem is decomposed into two principal sub-problems: manipulation of a multi-dimensional knowledge base to result in a "composite map" consistent with the current mission goals, and a subsequent search procedure applied to this composite map to result in high performance routes. The relevance of expert systems and other techniques for route planning is discussed. A particularly efficient search procedure is applied to several example composite maps to demonstrate the power of the approach.
