A class of multicriteria shortest path problems for real-time in-vehicle routing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In-route guidance systems fastest path routing has typically been adopted because of its simplicity. However, empirical studies on route choice behavior have shown that drivers use numerous criteria in choosing a route. The objective of this paper is to develop computationally efficient algorithms for identifying a manageable subset of the nondominated (i.e., Pareto optimal) paths for real-time in-vehicle routing. The basic notion of the proposed approach is that (i) enumerating all nondominated paths is computationally too expensive, (ii) obtaining a stable mathematical representation of the driver's utility function is theoretically difficult and impractical, and (iii) identifying the optimal path given a nonlinear utility function is a nondeterministic polynomial time (NP)-hard problem. Consequently, a heuristic two-stage strategy that identifies multiple routes and then selects the near-optimal path may be effective and practical. As the first stage, we relax the uniqueness of the utility function by measuring the context-dependent preference using an entropy model and propose a branch-and-bound technique that discards most of the nondominated paths. To make sure that the paths identified are dissimilar in terms of links used, the portion of shared links between routes is limited. The test of the algorithm in a large real-life traffic network shows that the algorithm can significantly reduce computational complexity while identifying reasonable alternative paths. Key words: real-time vehicle routing, multiple routes, utility function, optimal path.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
