If you happen to be on a Texas highway sometime this summer, and see a 50,000-pound semi truck barreling along with nobody behind the wheel, just remember: A self-driving truck is less likely to kill ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

The Vehicle Monitoring And Routing System (VMARS) makes use of GPS to provide the exact location of the vehicle. It allows a parent to monitor the vehicle in real-time using a GPS-based device ...

This project solves the problem of transporting heavy loads between cities by finding viable paths through viaducts with height restrictions, using a modified Dijkstra's algorithm for optimal routing.

Many efforts to apply machine learning get stuck due to concerns about the “black box” — that is, the lack of transparency around why a system does what it does. Sometimes this is because people want ...
