Abstract

There exist several information systems to find and display the shortest origin-destination route in a transportation network. Usually these systems are created by organizations purchasing expensive software aiming to build them easily, quickly and correctly. This goal, however, still remains elusive. In this paper, an information system that finds and displays the shortest origin-destination route in a transportation network is presented. The system is mainly built using free software. In the literature, there were found at least three fast algorithms to obtain the shortest route in a given network. From these three, one was selected for being more efficient and less memory consuming according to the experimental analysis carried out. The functionality of the system is showed using Toluca’s transportation network, one of the largest cities in Mexico.
