The methodology of relative robust optimization was applied as measures for comparing time-varying, random path travel times for a priori optimization. In accordance with the situation in real world, a stochastic consistent condition was provided for the STD networks and under this condition, a mathematical proof was given that the STD robust optimal path problem can be simplified into a minimum problem in specific time-dependent networks. A label setting algorithm was designed and tested to find travelers' robust optimal path in a sampled STD network with computation complexity of O(n2+n·m). The validity of the robust approach and the designed algorithm were confirmed in the computational tests. Compared with conventional probability approach, the proposed approach is simple and efficient, and also has a good application prospect in navigation system.展开更多

The alternative is evaluated by focus point to fit the feature that the decision process cannot be repeated many times. If the objective captured by focus point is not achieved, there is a regret. The regret of an action is determined by the focus point of the other actions. The set of the alternatives available is updated by the regret threshold, and the optimal action can be obtained by the selected focus point of each alternative. The proposed method is a new fundamental alternative for decision making under uncertainty. Using focus point as reference gives the regret a clear meaning. The decision making procedure matches the intuitive expectations of human being. It explains the phenomena that does not conform to classical decision making theory.展开更多
