The invention discloses an
urban road network shortest path acquisition method based on angle limitation and
bidirectional search. The method comprises the following steps: 1, constructing an
urban network according to real-time
road condition information; 2, introducing a forward search boundary internal and external intersection set UnF, a backward search boundary internal and external intersection set UnB, a bidirectional boundary intersection set Mn and
travel time upper and lower bounds T; 3, updating the intersection sets UnF and UnB inside and outside the forward and backward search boundaries of the sets; 4, obtaining the shortest path from the starting point to the destination point through the intersections in the intersection set Mn of the bidirectional boundaries by a
label correction method; and 5, if the
travel time of the shortest path is equal to the lower bound T of the
travel time or the intersection set UnF and UnB in the forward and backward search boundaries are not updated any more, acquiring the shortest path, or otherwise, returning to the step 3. According to the method, angle limitation and
bidirectional search are added in navigation of the
urban road network, so that the search range is effectively narrowed; therefore, the navigation efficiency is improved, and a faster and more efficient driving path can be provided.
