A note on the stochastic shortest route problem

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This paper develops an algorithm for a “shortest route” network problem in which it is desired to find the path which yields the shortest expected distance through the network. It is assumed that if a particular arc is chosen, then there is a finite probability that an adjacent arc will be traversed instead. Backward induction is used and appropriate recursion formulae are developed. A numerical example is provided.
