Abstract

The shortest path-searching with the minimal weight for multiple destinations is a crucial need in an indoor applications, especially in supermarkets, warehouses, libraries, etc. However, when it is used for multiple item searches, its weight becomes higher as it searches only the shortest path between the single sources to each destination item separately. If the conventional Dijkstra algorithm is modified to multi-destination mode then the weight is decreased, but the output path is not considered as the real shortest path among multiple destinations items. Our proposed algorithm is more efficient for finding the shortest path among multiple destination items with minimum weight, compared to the single source single destination and modified multi-destinations of Dijkstra’s algorithm. In this research, our proposed method has been validated by real-world data as well as by simulated random solutions. Our advancement is more applicable in indoor environment applications based on multiple items or destinations searching.
