Abstract

In this paper, we introduce our implementation of the Plateau algorithm, which is an extension of the basic Dijsktra algorithm for finding the n shortest paths in a graph. The algorithm can be used to divide the traffic flow in a city by implementing a routing pipeline which takes into account a global view of the traffic network. We describe the heuristic extensions we implemented in the algorithm to optimize its run time, including computational experiments and its integration into a routing pipeline.
