Speeding up Martins' algorithm for multiple objective shortest path problems
The latest transportation systems require the best routes in a large network with respect to multiple objectives simultaneously to be calculated in a very short time. The label setting algorithm of Martins efficiently finds this set of Pareto optimal paths, but sometimes tends to be slow, especially for large networks such as transportation networks. In this article we investigate a number of speedup measures, resulting in new algorithms. It is shown that the calculation time to find the Pareto optimal set can be reduced considerably. Moreover, it is mathematically proven that these algorithms still produce the Pareto optimal set of paths

Route Planning in Transportation Networks
We survey recent advances in algorithms for route planning in transportation
networks. For road networks, we show that one can compute driving directions in
milliseconds or less even at continental scale. A variety of techniques provide
different trade-offs between preprocessing effort, space requirements, and
query time. Some algorithms can answer queries in a fraction of a microsecond,
while others can deal efficiently with real-time traffic. Journey planning on
public transportation systems, although conceptually similar, is a
significantly harder problem due to its inherent time-dependent and
multicriteria nature. Although exact algorithms are fast enough for interactive
queries on metropolitan transit systems, dealing with continent-sized instances
requires simplifications or heavy preprocessing. The multimodal route planning
problem, which seeks journeys combining schedule-based transportation (buses,
trains) with unrestricted modes (walking, driving), is even harder, relying on
approximate solutions even for metropolitan inputs.Comment: This is an updated version of the technical report MSR-TR-2014-4,
