Abstract

From the online point of view, this paper studies a variation of the k-Canadian Traveler Problem (k-CTP), in which there are multiple travelers who communicate with each other to share real-time information. The objective is to find a route from the origination to the destination as soon as possible. Based on different communication levels, we consider two problems with full communication(P1) and with limited communication(P2) respectively. We present lower bounds for the two problems respectively. Considering the urban traffic environment, we propose a Retrace-Alternating strategy for both problems, and prove that increasing the proportion of full communication travelers may not always improve the competitive performance of online strategies.
