Abstract

Most routing devices can be used by pedestrians to find the shortest path to their destination. But in many cases not the shortest path but the fastest path is required. In this paper we discuss a variant of a dynamic routing algorithm based on AntBasedControl algorithm. The algorithm has been deployed in a centralized and decentralized routing system. People on their route use their smart phone to exchange traveling information with the central routing system or with other pedestrians via WIFI ad hoc networks (MANOC). Both systems can be used to route pedestrians from source to destination or to find the exit in shopping malls but also to route pedestrians to shelters and safe areas in case of a crisis. The algorithm and test experiments will be presented in the paper.
