Most people who use navigation apps, be they Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps, are typically interested in the fastest route. It doesn’t matter how long it is as long as it's the fastest way to arrive ...

Millions of drivers rely on Google Maps and Waze every day for a simple reason: they find faster ways to reach their destinations, mainly because they're aware of what happens on the road ahead.

I recently read about the roundabouts in the Gilberts Cornerw area, and it got me to thinking. It was stated, in the justification for roundabouts, that they keep traffic moving. I gave that some ...

Scientists at London's Imperial College have built a miniature tourist map that could lead to a new generation of handy computers. The team etched a map of London's city center onto a 1-square-inch ...

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTXL) — When construction began on June 20, 1934, the city of Sacramento had no idea that Tower Bridge would become California’s shortest state route at just under .14 miles. In ...
