Abstract:
This system deals with the problem of finding shortest paths in traversing some location within Myanmar. In particular, it explores the use of three approaches, Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm, Bellman-Ford shortest path algorithm and A* algorithm in constructing the minimum spanning tree considering the carriage ways in the road network of Myanmar. The result shows a remarkable reduction in the actual distances as compared with the ordinary routing. Comparing Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm, Bellman-Ford shortest path algorithm and A* algorithm which can produce the minimum calculating time to reach the goal. This result indicates, clearly the importance of these types of algorithm in optimization of network flows. This thesis is implemented by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
